If using previously ground spices instead of whole spices for this recipe, cut the quantity in half. Taste the marinade and adjust the spices to your liking before adding it to the meat. Originally, I used a a spice grinder and a molcajete to prepare the marinade. If you cannot find annatto powder, substitute with achiote paste. I would use 1 tablespoon full of achiote. If you have time, try toasting the whole spices just until they are aromatic. This adds more flavor to your recipes! The marinade/adobo can be used for chicken, pork and seafood!
