Ingredients
- 1 TBSP peanut oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp achiote powder (ground annatto seeds)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- salt & pepper
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Directions
- Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, achiote, cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.

- Ladle into bowls and top with the fresh cilantro, avocado, and Monterey jack cheese.
