It’s about time I share this super simple spice blend that’s a staple in many Puerto Rican recipes. If you’re a regular here at Salima’s Kitchen, you’re very familiar with adobo spice seasoning.

You’ll find it in classic recipes like these empanadillas, alcapurrias, and so many other popular savory dishes.

Similar to my sazon seasoning recipe, this spice mix takes a handful of classic Puerto Rican spices and combines them into an easy to use blend you will find yourself reaching for over and over again!

Tip: make sure to check the expiration dates on your spices before using. This will help ensure your adobo spice stays nice and fresh.
