Muy Bueno!

My husband is a big fan of Latin style food, so I'm always looking for new recipes that highlight Latin flavors. This recipe is a winner. Have you ever made a recipe for pork and found the outcome dull and flavorless? Well, I'll be the first to admit that I have. I'm pleased to post this flavorful pork recipe for your enjoyment. With just a few ingredients, you'll find this pork relatively affordable, too. Plan your meals according and use the leftovers the following day. I shredded the leftover pork for quick rolled tacos with guacamole, cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce.

Latin Style Pork Roast

2 lbs. Boneless Lean Pork Roast
2 packets Sazon (Goya) with Coriander and Annatto
Adobo Seasoning
2 Tbsp. Dried Oregano
Nonstick Cooking Spray


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle Adobo seasoning on the roast and rub in. Rub Sazon into pork. Rub the oregano into the roast. Allow the roast to marinate for deeper flavor or cook right away. Place the roast in a shallow baking pan that has been coated with non-stick spray. Bake for about an hour, or until the internal temp. is at least 160 degrees. Remove from the oven and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Slice as desired.
