Numero uno: Adobo... don't cook pork/chicken/beans/chili without it.

Coincidently "adobo" is (and always was) the 1st product listed in the Penzeys
catalog.

Adobo Seasoning
"A traditional and popular Mexican spice mix. Not hot, but spicy and rich in
flavor, and salt-free. Use 1 /2 -1 tsp. per pound and rub on chicken, fish and
pork. Great for the grill, just sprinkle fish or meat with a bit of lime juice,
rub on Adobo, add salt to taste, then grill (or broil). Add to taco or chili
meat or beans for that South-of-the-border flavor, use 1-2 tsp. per pound and
fry with the meat before adding to the sauce. Great for easy guacamole, just
mix 1 tsp. Adobo Seasoning in 1 TB. water, add to 2 mashed avocados with a
squeeze of lemon or lime juice, a shake of salt and a pinch of hot pepper.
Adobo Seasoning is great for perking up low-sodium and low-fat diets, just
sprinkle on in place of salt and pepper before cooking. Hand-mixed from:
garlic, onion, Tellicherry black pepper, Mexican oregano, cumin and cayenne red
pepper."
