Language Notes
This can be spelled “Carne Adobada” or “Carne Adovada”, but in New Mexico, the “Adovada” spelling in more common.
Even if it is spelled “adobada”, which is more correct, it should still be pronounced Adovada, as though the second “b” were a “v”. The “v” spelling is an anglicisation caused by people in New Mexico spelling it the way it sounds.
Even though “carne” means “meat” in general Spanish, in this dish pork is used.
