    • garlic powder
    • onion powder
    • oregano

    • cumin

How To Make Adobo Seasoning

This all-purpose seasoning is so simple to prepare!

  1. Combine all ingredients.

That’s all there is to it! Since it lasts for 6 months try making a large batch to always have some on hand.

To Store Seasoning

Keep adobo seasoning in an airtight container or jar with a tight-fitting lid in the cupboard out of direct sunlight or moisture.

It should stay fresh for about 6 months. So label it with the date it was prepared.

Most spices can be kept in the fridge or freezer, too, provided they are tightly sealed and no air can get in.
