Are you sick of paying ten dollars or more for a straightforward appetizer of seared ahi tuna and over thirty dollars for a seared ahi tuna dinner? Now you can buy some ahi (or yellowfin) tuna and prepare it yourself at your neighborhood fish market, grocery shop, or even Costco. So basic yet gorgeous!

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon ground annatto seed
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine coriander, cumin, garlic powder, annatto, salt, turmeric, Mexican oregano, and pepper in an airtight container and mix well.
- If you can’t find ground annatto, use ground paprika. Mexican oregano is preferred but regular oregano works well, too.
- Use 1 1/2 teaspoons of this mix to equal 1 packet of store-bought sazón seasoning.

I made this as written, it is wonderful!! I keep mine in a smaller canning jar. I just shake and measure. Brightens anything I put in in. Chili, baked chicken, Mexican rice dishes. So very good. Thank you so much for posting and sharing.
5.20.20 …https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/268797/sazon/ … THANK YOU, SuzyQ! Until this recipe, sazon was just a word. Such an easy-to-do blend that I’m certain will be a regular around here. I used in this All Recipes Habichuelas Guisadas. Very good!
Omitted the turmeric. Very easy to make and delicious!
I’m happy this recipe worked out for Soup Loving Nicole and Cookie Lover! 🙂 As the author of this recipe, I want to point out an error in the ingredient list. If you are using annatto, omit the turmeric. If you do not have annatto, use 1 tablespoon paprika and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric.
Quick and easy. I suggest you double or triple the recipe if you plan to save it for later use.
Excellent! I use Sazon often and keep in in my freezer. Now I can make my own, it is so simple, AND there is no MSG. Perfect! Thanks for sharing!
