Carne Adovada

Carne Adovada is a dish made in New Mexico, USA, of pork in adobo sauce.

The pork is thinly sliced or shredded, then marinated in adobo sauce. The meat can then be pan fried, cooked in the oven, simmered on top the stove, or cooked on a skewer over fire. The meat is used as a filling for tortillas, burritos, etc..

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.
