Although it can be difficult to find where I reside, this flavor is a necessary ingredient in a Puerto Rican cooking. I started creating my own, and it works well! Excellent spice; my boys enjoy shaking it on their fries. Enjoy!

I cut the salt in half, and it worked well for a chicken recipe I made.
Wow! So much better than the store. Very easy to adjust. Minor changes to mine. 2 T Garlic powder, 1.5 T Onion Powder, 1 T Kosher salt, all else the same. Used coffee grinder to complete the mixture. Turned out awesome! FYI, the pepper adds a nice kick, so know that before you add 2tsp.
Absolutely great! Mucho mejor que Goya
I will be using this recipe, but I will have to be honest, I can’t use Turmeric, I’m allergic to it, and I ran across a comment, that said she substituted the Turmeric with Cumin, and so when I make mine, I will be using cumin also. Turmeric breaks me out in hives everywhere, starting with my hands, arms and then face. THANK YOU, to the person that used cumin and passed on that idea.
This is our first experience with turmeric in a spice blend and this is teaching us to love it! I added an extra 1/2 teaspoon turmeric but I think it could go with even more!
I use a little different ratio; “double” each ingredient as you progress: 0.5 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp oregano, 2 tsp black pepper, (4 tsp salt), and 8 tsp (3 Tbsp) garlic. Recently I began to omit the salt for health reasons, as it can always be added at the table if needed.
I needed adobo seasoning and didn’t have any. This worked out great. Thanks!
Loved it, used it recently with a batch of grilled chicken and Puerto Rican inspired beans and rice, arroz con habichuelas.
It becomes a staple in my pantry now. I used it when I made the Cuban Ropa Vieja dish!
Delicious! I cut down the salt to 1 tbsp and it was perfect! Amazing recipe! Kids even love it! Bye bye Goya!
This is a delightful seasoning, and really surprised me when I discovered that while it has a wonderful flavor it didn’t pack the “spicy punch” I was concerned about. I will admit that I had to substitute ground cumin in place of the turmeric. But I am glad that I have extra now for future usage.
Thank you, I bought my first cast iron skillet and made cod that needed Adobo seasonings. Turn out wonderful. Even my picky husband liked it.
I am officially out of the adobo buying business. I ran out and tried this recipe; it was super easy and delicious. ??
At first, I didn’t have turmeric, so I subbed with cumin which is widely used in Puertorican cooking. It worked really well! Now that I have turmeric, I use it for this recipe and add 1 tsp powdered onion as well. I have also replaced the garlic for a garlic and parsley blend when it is cheaper. Every time the recipe is amazing. Now I can make it at home since most of the spices are staples in my spice rack.
I love this seasoning mixture! Thank you, PR Punisher! I wanted to make my own adobo so I wouldn’t have to buy the msg-laced store version, and this made that possible. I do add extra turmeric to mine when I make it, but this recipe was exactly what I was looking for.
This worked perfectly in a recipe that called for adobe seasoning. It is nice to be able to adjust the flavours to our liking. Thank you PR Punisher for the recipe.
A good versatile seasoning that can be adjusted to lower the sodium. You can put this on just about anything.
