5 Minute DIY Adobo Spice Seasoning
This Adobo Spice Seasoning is made with a blend of 5 commonly used spices and helps infuse dishes with flavors of garlic, onion and peppers. It’s perfect for red meat, flavored rice dishes, and so much more.
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!
Ingredients
Instructions
Tip: make sure to check the expiration dates on your spices before using. This will help ensure your adobo spice stays nice and fresh.
Variations
If you want to really spice it up, try adding these spices to your adobo blend:
- turmeric – if you want to add some color as well as a subtle sweetness, a half teaspoon of turmeric will do the trick!
- cumin – cumin is one of my favorite spices because of the warmth it brings to any dish. Try it out if your a fan of this spice and let me know what you think!
- chili powder – make things even smokier with chili powder and paprika
Happy cooking!
