Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., added, \"Oh look, it's the sound of me Googling 'how to make your own Adobo.'\" She went on to share a simple adobo recipe with her followers in a follow-up tweet.

Even Lin-Manuel Miranda, director and star of the Broadway smash-hit \"Hamilton,\" weighed-in, writing, \"We learned to bake bread in this pandemic, we can learn to make our own adobo con pimienta. Bye.\"

Democratic candidate Joe Biden led Trump by 39% with Hispanics nationally, according to a June New York Times/Siena College poll.

Goya Foods did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment on Friday.

Unanue, however, doubled down on his comments in an interview with Fox News on Friday, saying he won't apologize and that's he's also praised former President Barack Obama.

\"So you're allowed to talk good or to praise one president, but you're not allowed, when I was called to be part of this commission to aid in economic and educational prosperity and you make positive comment, all of the sudden that's not acceptable?\" he told Fox News. \"So I'm not apologizing.\"

\"When you're called by the president of the United States, you're going to say, 'No, I'm sorry, I'm busy, no thank you?'\" he added. \"I didn't say that to the Obamas, and I didn't say that to President Trump.\"

Unanue slammed the boycott calls as a \"suppression of speech.\" He said he previously worked with Michelle Obama to help include Goya in nutritional guidance to minority communities.

White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway also responded to the criticism of the CEO on the same show Friday morning, saying, \"it's a shame that people see politics in every single thing.\"

ABC News' Ben Gittleson contributed to this report.
