Throughout Mexico, adobo is a marinade created by mixing tomatoes, chillies, herbs and spices to form a shocking red paste. The paste is liberally spread over meat and grilled or used as a cooking sauce.

Mexican Adobo Spice Rub is an integral part of Mexico’s culinary heritage, playing a prominent role in many different dishes which showcase the diversity and depth of the country’s delicious food.

Adobo is derived from the Spanish word “adobar”, which means to marinate or season, but indigenous cultures throughout Mexico were using various spice blends and preservation techniques for centuries, long before colonisation. The use of dried chilli peppers were well known to enhance the flavours and extend the longevity of their food.

To use, just mix a few teaspoons with lime juice and garlic and rub on meat, poultry, vegetables and fish.

Mexican Adobo can also be used to make tacos, fajitas and burritos. Try adding to guacamole, salsa and sour cream for a true Mexican feast!
