Carne Adovada

Carne Adovada is a New Mexico favorite. It is pork that has been slow cooked in a red chile sauce. I really enjoy Carne Adovado in burritos, quesadillas, on a tostada or over hash brown for breakfast. There are so many ways to prepare some really amazing dishes with Carne Adovada. This recipe is very simple and easy, cutting the pork is really the only thing that takes some time. The pork should be cut into bite size pieces. Once it has baked the meat is very tender and breaks apart easily. This is one of my go to recipes during the holidays – it is a popular dish around Christmas here in New Mexico and typically served on Christmas Eve along with Tamales and Posole. I hope your enjoy this traditional New Mexican dish.
Bon Appetit, Cecelia
