Reply to comment by RyanCooper101 in [HOMEMADE] Juevos Rancheros with carne adovada by PuddnheadAZ

It’s adovada if it’s the New Mexican style of the recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/carne-adovada-adobada-chili-braised-pork-recipe

I see, so the confusion comes from the dish having a name very closely resembling the process applied to meat.

Adovada is the name of a dish and Adobada comes from Adobar which is the verb for applying Adobo to a meat.

Ya veo, asi que la raíz de este malentendido surge del nombre de un plato , el qual es casi idéntico al nombre del proceso que se ha aplicado a dicho plato.

Adovada siendo el nombre de un plato específico y adobada siendo la palabra que usamos para referirnos a una carne que ha recibido adobo.

Exactly, that’s a very clear way of explaining the difference. I’m not sure which OP was referring to (and honestly that doesn’t look like carne adovada, which is usually/always chunks of meat), but it’s not inherently incorrect.

The dish. I cook and eat it in chunks mostly. For this dish I “pulled” it a bit.

Yup. Made differently. I'd say both are correct depending on what style.

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.
