As a New Mexican, I’ve always seen it spelled “Adovada.” Don’t understand the downvotes

I think New Mexico is the only area that spells it that way, I've lived in southern CA and southern AZ (and have visited Mexico), and only saw it spelled "adobada." It was weird seeing the different spelling when I visited New Mexico even though the pronunciation is essentially the same.

NM is it's own universe. When I lived there, there were small villages where people still spoke variants of Castilian Spanish that had been thought to have been dead for hundreds of years. Nope! Not the case in NM.
