  This achievement was glitchy in the past, and I couldn't do it, but it was recently fixed.
  I just unlocked it with a combination of the solutions posted above.
  
  First I put all my villagers on stone mining, until I got the 650 stones. In the meantime I built a monastery, and created 2 monks, then I sent everyone to Tabasco where I dropped the castle, and built another monastery.
  
  Go with the left route highlighted by @Mac10goesBRRRT, just in case.

  Keep building your economy and getting the upgrades to the castle and units.
  
  Use your monks to convert units from blue, and when the galleons start appearing, send those units and let them play interference to draw the galleons fires, and then sneak your monks and convert the galleons.
  
  Rinse and repeat until you have a strong economy and start rolling over red, and then blue. I kept villagers in Tabasco for when the castle needed repairs.
  
  Here is the location of my castle, I hope this helps:

  Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (PC) - Achievement - Hot & Spicy
  
  Prevent Tabasco from being defeated in the third Montezuma mission "Quetzalcoatl".
  
  Your ally, Tobasco (orange), will be attacked early on by the Spanish. The attack can consist of Conquistadors, Bombard Cannons, Cannon Galleons and infantry. The size of the attack seems to depend on how well defended your ally is. If you have support in their base, the attack will be lessened. In this video, I attempted to get as much stone as possible early on to get a castle up near their Town Centre as well as constructing a forward base nearby. This leaves your town open to attack, but this can easily be countered. The main objective should just be to make sure your ally's Town Centre isn't destroyed in the initial attack. Once the initial attack is repelled, you can focus on resources, research, building up your army and defeating your enemies at your own pace.
