Add 1 tablespoon of dried or ground oregano. This ingredient is completely optional, as it might be present in other seasonings like adobo, but you can include it based on personal preference. Remember, "en tu cocina tú mandas" (in your kitchen, you rule).

Add 1 tablespoon of salt or MSG. MSG itself is not harmful; the colorings in commercial Sazón packets are often the concern. MSG is naturally present in the body and in foods like tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheese, and consumed moderately, it is fine. MSG also has less sodium than table salt.

The homemade Sazón is now ready. You can adjust ingredients by adding or taking away "lo que te diga tu corazón" (whatever your heart tells you) to customize the blend to your taste.
