Achiote Tilapia Super Simple

---

I just love the achiote seasoning found in the fish tacos in the yucatan, so i decided to venture out and try to make the fish myself. . .success! very simple too. i suggest serving with a squeeze of lime, a few slices of avocado and cilantro as a garnish. adapted from a ritz carlton recipe in which they use this sauce to marinate whole red snappers.
