Sazon
This is a copycat version of sazon, which I always use in Puerto Rican dishes. Other versions of this recipe call for only paprika or turmeric. I find adding both achieves the reddish-orange color without affecting flavor. The salt in this recipe can be reduced or omitted as many dishes call for additional salt. I prefer to omit and just add salt as needed to dishes while I'm cooking. I hope you will enjoy it!

Cook's Notes:
If you can't find ground annatto, use ground paprika. Mexican oregano is preferred but regular oregano works well, too.
Use 1 1/2 teaspoons of this mix to equal 1 packet of commercial sazon.
