Yucatan Feast - Where to find Mexican Ingredients

Here we’ve listed the essential Mexican ingredients used in the Yucatan Cochinita Pibil Taco Feast Workshop and where to find them

Soft corn tortillas 

• We recommend Taiyari Tortilleria just outside Amsterdam. They make delicious corn tortillas (as well as great ‘totopos’) and offer home delivery via their web shop.

  • You’ll only need to heat the tortillas up for about 10 seconds on each side on a griddle plate or dry frying pan, or of course a Mexican ‘comal’ if you’ve got one! They also freeze well in case you want to stock up

• If you want to make your own tortillas from scratch, you'll need ‘Maseca’ which is corn flour made from dried ground corn, available to order in various online specialist food shops

Dried chillies - e.g. Chilli Arbol

• Westland Peppers in South Holland has a great selection of dried and fresh chilli peppers, with delivery throughout the Netherlands and many parts of Europe. On Saturdays, you can also do tours of their greenhouses and discover all their exciting pepper varieties :)

Achiote (annatto paste)

• You can find achiote paste in speciality international food shops like Tijn’s Tokyo and in wholesalers, such as Sligro and Hanos
