What Is Carne Adovada? A New Mexican Classic
Tender pork bathed in rich red chile — carne adovada is New Mexican comfort food at its finest.
Pork Meets Red Chile
Carne adovada is tender pork marinated and slow-cooked in New Mexican red chile until it's rich, deep, and falling-apart tender.
It's one of the most beloved dishes in the state for good reason.
Comfort in Every Bite
The long marinade gives carne adovada its signature flavor — savory, earthy, and just spicy enough.
Enjoy it on a plate, in a burrito, or stuffed in a sopaipilla.
