- 1 T Mexican oregano
- 1 T sea salt

Be aware that the jalapeno may dust up, so avoid getting it in your eyes, or transferring it from your fingers to your eyes.

- Move adobo seasoning blend to an airtight spice container with lid, preferably glass.
- Best used within six weeks or keep in the freezer and remove only what you need for each recipe.
