MEAT INGREDIENTS
1 (3 -4 lb) pork roast
2 tablespoons achiote paste (known as adobo-check in the Mexican market or section)
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
aluminum foil
BAKERS CLAY
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups water

1
Using a food processor, grind all the meat seasoning ingredients into a paste. Rub the seasoning paste over the surface of the meat after pricking it with a fork.
2
Wrap the meat in foil and let marinade while you prepare the clay.
3
Combine the dry ingredients for the baker's clay.
4
Add liquid in small amounts until dough holds together and can be gathered into a ball.
5
Roll the dough out to a measure of 20 x 18 inches. Arrange roast in the center of dough and fold dough over the roast. Seal seams of the dough and place the roast on a baking pan lined with foil--seam side down.
6
Roast the meat at 350-375 degrees for 2 1/2 hours (you may want to insert a thermometer to check for doneness).
7
Remove from the oven and crack the clay in several places using a hammer.
8
Peel off the foil and allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
9
Serve with tortillas, beans and salad.
