Adobo comes in many forms from many countries. It can be a powder, a sauce, or a marinade. And each kind of adobo differs depending on whether it’s from Spain, Brazil, Portugal, Mexico or any other number of countries. Adobo powder, however, is generally a salt and cumin based blend mixed with garlic, oregano, and other herbs and spices (the mixture depends on the person blending).
We use this blend as a go-to spice when we’re not sure what we want. We sprinkle it on corn on the cob, mix it into taco meat, add it to an everyday meatloaf, or rub it onto chicken thighs to be braised in cream and roasted poblano chiles.
