Pollo Asado Recipe
"Pollo asado, Mexican marinated and grilled chicken, uses pigmented annatto seeds to get its signature brick red color Annatto seeds can be found in Latin supermarkets or online, but a cube of prepared achiote paste is a suitable sub This recipe uses two types of dried chiles, for which there are no substitutes; however, if they’re hard to come by, swap them out for a can of seeded chipotles in adobo for a different, but still delicious, smoky vibe..."
