The seeds contain a powerful natural red-orange coloring agent, used to color to a wide range of foods including cheeses and baked goods. Around Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, annato is exploited more fully for its complex savory flavor too. It combines with citrus juice to infuse cochinita pibil, the celebrated slow-cooked pork specialty. **Q: How long will this last unopened?** A: I bought mine 12-2021 Date on can says 4 24 I assume it means 4-2024 **Q: How many tacos can you make from one pouch?** A: Hello, With an 8.8 ounce bag of meat, it is possible to make approximately 6 -7 tacos.

Two minutes in the microwave. Great for many dishes, but we use it to top lettuce bowls and rice bowls. Very flavorful, but not spicy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad *by J***E on April 1, 2026* Good taste ### ⭐ Some varieties are great, but the beef is absolutely terrible & a waste of money!!! *by S***U on January 21, 2024* So disappointed with the beef version of this chilorio from the Chata brand. I've purchased the chicken, turkey and pork varieties several time and they are great for a quick, easy to fix meal on a busy day. Plus it is perfect to have on hand in case of emergencies or for camping. My family really likes the pork for tacos so I even have it on automatic shipments through Subscribe & Save. I added a case of the beef chilorio to my subscription and it is nothing at all like the others. I don't know if I received part of a bad batch or what, but this is definitely not worth buying at any price. I don't know how this would have passed any sort of quality control. There is roughly 1/6 cup of meat (maybe about 1 1/2 ounces, equating to less than one serving) in each pouch and the rest is some sort of tasteless broth. This doesn't even come close to matching the product description or pictures (it is supposed to be four servings) and I now see that I am not alone in this assessment. I felt confident ordering based on my experience with Chata's other products, but with about $40.00 wasted (I ordered a case of 12) I sure wish I had checked the poor reviews before ordering. ## Frequently Bought Together - Chata Machaca de Res, Dried Shredded Beef, 3.5 oz, Pack of 1 - Old Wisconsin Premium Summer Sausage, 100% Natural Meat, Charcuterie, Ready to Eat, High Protein, Low Carb, Keto, Gluten Free, Beef Flavor, 8 Ounce - StarKist Premium White Chicken - 2.6 oz Pouch (Pack of 12) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/46005856-chata-mexican-machaca-de-res-traditional-dried-shredded-beef-3](https://www.desertcart.us/products/46005856-chata-mexican-machaca-de-res-traditional-dried-shredded-beef-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
