Sazón Seasoning Blend

Step 1

In a mortar and pestle, grind the salt until fine. This breaks the salt down to the same size as the ground spices.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, annatto, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and black pepper (if using).

Step 3

Whisk the spices together until blended well.

Step 4

Transfer the sazón to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in a cool, dark place for 6 months or less.

Step 5

Use as desired; 1 1/2 teaspoon equals one packet of sazón, while a portion size is 1/2 teaspoon.
