Steps:
- In a small saucepan bring water and achiote seeds to a boil.
- Cook seeds, covered, at a bare simmer 30 minutes and remove from heat.
- (Steep seeds 2 hours, or until softened.) Heat a dry comal or flat iron griddle over moderately low heat until hot and pan-roast garlic and onion, turning them occasionally to ensure even roasting, until browned and soft throughout, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Discard garlic skins.
- In a small heavy skillet dry-roast oregano over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes and transfer to a small bowl.
- Cool oregano completely and in an electric coffee/spice grinder grind fine.
- Drain seeds and in a blender or food processor blend with garlic, onion, oregano, and remaining ingredients until smooth.
- Recado may be made 5 days ahead and chilled and covered.
