Reply to comment by saltyloempia in [HOMEMADE] Juevos Rancheros with carne adovada by PuddnheadAZ

That’s because they’re different dishes. Adobada is much more widespread.

Adovada originated in New Mexico. It’s pork braised in New Mexican red chile. Adobada is from Mexico and is meat marinated in adobo and seared. You can tell this is adovada because the meat shredded, which happens from braising and not searing.

I meant as a Spaniard, I've never heard the word adovada spelled with a V.

It must be a specific word from México

Ah yeah. Could be that. There’s pockets of New Mexico that still have 1500s Spanish accents too, as they were relatively isolated from the rest of the Spanish speaking world. Not sure if it came from that or was something new. Either way, it’s delicious!
