In this recipe, med to long-grain white rice is cooked with a dynamic blend of Goya Sazon.

At the same time, Adobo seasoning adds a well-rounded savory base with its mix of garlic, oregano, black pepper and salt, creating a perfectly seasoned, crave-worthy rice.This dish stands out not just for its beautiful yellow color, but for its versatility. You can easily elevate it by stirring in vegetables such as bell peppers, peas, corn, or diced carrots for extra texture, color, and nutrition. It works beautifully as a side dish with grilled meats, seafood, or beans. Whether you're serving it at a family dinner or a festive gathering, Adobo Sazon Rice adds warmth, flavor, and a pop of color to any plate.
