- Hold each chili with a fork over a gas flame, turning till lightly roasted on all sides. Place the chili in a bowl with 2 c. of hot water, and soak for 20 min.
- Prepare achiote oil by stirring together annato seeds and vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat for 2 min. Remove from the heat and cold. Oil will keep indefinitely, tightly covered, in a cold place.
- For Potato Mix:Stir 1/4 c. achiote oil into mashed potatoes (reserve remainder of the oil for another use). Add in lime or possibly lemon juice and salt to taste. Set aside.
- For Sauce:Drain ancho chilies, reserving soaking liquid, and place them in a processor with the extra virgin olive oil, fresh chilies, and garlic. Process till smooth. With the machine running, add in 1/2 c. of walnuts, 1/2 c. reserved pepper soaking liquid and 2 Tbsp. of salt. Process till smooth. Add in half of the crumbled cheese and process till smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. Coarsely chop the remaining walnuts and add in them to the mix with the remaining cheese; salt and pepper to taste.
- Shape potato mix into about 2 dozen 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Arrange them on a bed of lettuce leaves, spooning a little sauce on top. Garnish with Large eggs, corn, coriander and olives. Serve at room temperature.
