1 1/2 cups  fresh lime juice - (12 limes)
3   garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp  achiote paste
1 tsp  dried oregano leaves
1 tsp  ground cumin
   Salt, to taste
   Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 lbs  skinless boneless chicken thigh meat, cut 1" pieces

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chilies on small baking sheet. Roast until soft, about 20 minutes. Stem and seed chilies. Transfer chilies to processor. Add pureed guava, reserved guava syrup, cilantro, and remaining 1/2 cup lime juice. Process until smooth. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to medium bowl. (Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
