  • 1 achiote
  • 1 pinch pepper, fat
  • 1 pinch oregano
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar

Medium
  • Blend the achiote, pepper, oregano, vinegar, water, and the juice from sour oranges (if unavailable, use regular oranges and add a little more vinegar) and salt.
  • Pork (preferably a combination of ribs and lean meat) or chicken (breasts) is marinated with the blended mixture and left to marinate overnight if possible.
  • It is cooked in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes (pork) or 10 minutes (chicken); once it releases steam and the valve is put on, some add banana leaves, but it tastes just as delicious without them.
  • Shred the meat. Pour the remaining juice from the pot over it and serve immediately, accompanied by habanero chili sauce.
  • For the sauce, finely slice the chiles, julienne the onion that has been blanched in boiling water, add a splash of vinegar and a pinch of salt; mix thoroughly and serve it with a warm tortilla and meat taco.
