Adobo Rub - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 4 tsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Combine chili powder, lime juice, oil, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Tip: make ahead and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Note: the chili powder should be preferably made with New Mexico or ancho chiles. Mildly spicy dried chiles, such as ancho or New Mexico, add moderate heat and rich flavor to Mexican sauces like mole. Chili powder made from these chiles has more flavor than American-style blends. Look for it in the specialty-spice or Hispanic Foods section of large supermarkets.

PCOS Diet Principles in This Recipe
The PCOS diet focuses on three core principles: reducing inflammation, managing insulin resistance, and supporting hormonal balance. Every recipe in our collection is evaluated against these principles. This recipe excels in providing anti-inflammatory spices that target the chronic inflammation underlying PCOS, and healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that support cell membrane health and hormone synthesis.
