Notes
The most important tip I can give you about making your own adobo seasoning is to experiment with the spices. Make the blend as normal with the core 5 (salt, garlic, onion, oregano, and pepper), then get creative with anything else you like. I’d recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric for a golden color, cayenne for heat, cumin for warmth, or dried citrus zest for a tangy pop.
Double the recipe: My recipe makes 1/4 cup of adobo seasoning, but you can easily double or triple the ingredient quantities to make more.
Taste and adjust: I always taste my homemade seasoning blends after I mix everything together. That way, I can adjust the flavors by adding more of one or two spices, if needed.
Low sodium: Feel free to reduce the salt to 1/2 tablespoon if you’re watching your sodium intake.
Make-Ahead: I almost always put this adobo seasoning mix together days or weeks before I use it.
How to Store: This spice blend can be kept in an airtight glass jar or container in a cool, dry place (like your pantry or on a spice rack) for up to 6 months. I like to store mine in a shaker jar for convenience.
