Okay, so... i've been to several stores and searched for adobo seasoning... and to no avail. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is it a special spice, or is there some hidden store that sells it, or what? What does it look like/how is it packaged? I really want to try this recepie. Is there anythiong else i can use to replace it?

Check the area of your store where they have Hispanic foods...or the spice area where you would find steak seasonings, turkey seasoning, etc. when all else fails, Amazon sells it....

Try Walmart. It should be in the same aisle as the spices or the ethnic foods.

This recipe was great, but I didn't have any Adobo seasoning so I substituted it with Creole seasoning. I also baked some french fries, and it was an easy dinner and easy clean up..... will certainly use again!
