adobo

OUR BEST-SELLING MEXICAN ADOBO PASTE — MADE FOR CHORIZO AND EVERYDAY MARINADES.

El Matador’s Adobo Rub Paste is a ready-to-use blend of real chiles, spices, and salt — no soaking, blending, or added colorants, preservatives, or gluten. It’s the shortcut professional kitchens use for authentic chorizo, and a one-scoop marinade for carne asada, chicken wings, and traditional stews. Gluten-free and vegan, made in the USA, and trusted by chefs who need consistent, scratch-quality flavor every time.

Adobada Al Pastor
THE MARINADE BEHIND REAL TACOS AL PASTOR.

Our Adobada Al Pastor blends guajillo chiles, warm spices, and a touch of pineapple for the tangy-sweet, smoky flavor that defines street-style al pastor. Ready to use straight from the jar — just marinate and cook, no soaking or blending required. Great beyond pork, too: try it on chicken, beef, or grilled vegetables. Gluten-free, vegan, and made in the USA with no artificial colors or preservatives.

Guajillo
A READY-TO-USE GUAJILLO CHILE PASTE FOR POZOLE, BIRRIA, AND MORE.

Made from hand-selected guajillo chiles prized for their berry-like tang, gentle heat, and deep red color, this paste skips the soaking and blending dried chiles usually require. Spoon it straight into broths, sauces, and marinades for instant depth in pozole, menudo, birria, and enchilada sauce, or use it to brighten seafood pasta, queso, or homemade chorizo. Gluten-free, vegan, and free of artificial colors or preservatives.

ancho
El Matador's Ancho Chile Adobo is a rich tapestry woven from the sun-dried poblano pepper, known as the ancho chile.

This sumptuous paste carries a depth of flavor that is both sweet and complex, infused with an earthiness reminiscent of coffee, and subtle hints of dried fruit. It’s the soulful essence of dishes like enchilada sauce, red pork tamales, red pozole, chile colorado, and as a transformative rub for carne asada. Our Ancho Chile Adobo is a culinary treasure, unlocking the secrets of traditional Mexican cuisine with every spoonful.

Pasilla
El Matador's Pasilla Chile Adobo is a culinary revelation, steeped in the nuanced flavors of the sophisticated Pasilla or 'Negro' Chile.

Its rich profile boasts a symphony of tastes, from the tangy zing to the earthy depth accented with luxurious chocolate undertones. Named for its raisin-like aroma, this versatile paste is the foundation of countless Mexican masterpieces, from the noble mole to the heartwarming enchilada sauce. Elevate your cooking narrative with the distinguished essence of our Pasilla Chile Adobo – a storied ingredient for the discerning palate.
