In a blender, combine the achiote, chiles, canning sauce, oil and ¾ cup water. Blend into a smooth marinade. With a heavy mallet pound the meat to about 1/8-inch thick. Use 1/3 of the marinade to smear over both sides of each piece of meat and sprinkle with salt. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour for the flavor to penetrate the meat. (In a container with a tight-fitting lid, refrigerate the rest of the marinade for another use.)
