Prepare a cochinita pibil recipe with a different style, but the same classic flavor of this traditional Yucatan dish. These juicy cochinita mixiotes will taste better if accompanied by pickled onions, and making them for a gathering or party will be a great decision, as it will be a very generous meal served in individual portions.

For the marinade, blend the achiote with oregano, cumin, cinnamon, salt, pepper, orange juice, and vinegar. Pour over the meat and marinate for 2 hours. On a griddle, roast the banana leaves until they soften and change slightly in color. Set aside. Place a sheet of parchment paper, a banana leaf, then the pork meat, and wrap it up. Place the mixiotes in a steamer and cook for 1 hour. Serve with pickled onions.
