I use the Adobo seasoning mainly on grilled pork or chicken. I just
checked the bottle and gave it a taste, but don't think that's the elusive
flavor to the chili beans. Maybe the adobo sauce is different.

The Adobo seasoning contains garlic, onion, Tellicherry black pepper,
Mexican oregano, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Funny, it tastes rather
salty, but salt is not one of the listed ingredients. I'm sure Penzey's
would list salt if it were in there.

Still, I think it would be a nice addition to chili so I will try it in a
small sample.

Thanks, Andy!
