Really? I like that color. Do you know how it is extracted to be use
din cheddar?

I bought annatto mainly to use in place of Turmeric when fryign
chicken because Tumeric stains. Not that I plan to fry chicken often
but when I cooked that marinaded Chicjen fajita thing I bought from
the Mexican grocery store, though it didn't taste like fajita, it
tasted like the fried chiken we made at home using tumeric powder for
color. In that fried Chicken recipe, I think onion juice, not oonion
peiecs, was used in marinading the chicken along with ginger. I am not
sure whether garlic was used or not. I can call someone to check. To
amke that chicken dish, I can just fry annatto in oil first before
frying chicken in that oil but I don't make that chicken often. All
this assuming that that color in Chicken fajita from Mexican store was
from annatto

So, I hope to find a better way to extra the color from Anntto so that
I can use it in some other thing. The only mexican food I made are
taco and fajita. Have staretd making quesadilla (my way using the meat
from a Thai Chicken soup - because there was too much - and cheddar
cheese) for breakfast. Quesadilla is now one item I routinely plan to
make for breakfast.
