The Charm of Tikin Xic

Originating from the Yucatán coast, Tikin Xic is a traditional cooking technique that highlights the natural flavors of the fish by grilling it over charcoal and marinating it in a blend of achiote paste and sour orange juice. This unique combination of ingredients creates a smoky, spicy, and slightly citrusy flavor that is simply irresistible.
