Carne Adovada

Unlike most Mexican-American marinated pork dishes, carne adovada uses no vinegar or citrus at all — the meat is simply stewed for hours in pure red chile sauce until it falls apart.
Pork is slow-cooked in a deep red chile sauce until fork-tender, then tucked into tacos, burritos, or served over rice at cafes and market stands. The sauce, not any spice rub, does all the work.
Why it's made this way: It showcases New Mexico's dried red chile, grown and strung into ristras locally, used here as the sole braising liquid rather than a garnish.
