Adobo seasoning is the ubiquitous all-purpose garlic-and-oregano seasoning salt of Latin American and Caribbean kitchens — a pale, fine powder built on salt, granulated garlic, dried oregano and black pepper, often with turmeric, cumin and a little citric acid. It is shaken onto meat, poultry, fish, beans, rice and vegetables as a one-step base seasoning, and is distinct from the wet adobo marinade or braise it shares a name with.
