Carne adovada is a traditional New Mexican dish made with chunks of pork that are marinated in a spicy sauce made with red chili peppers, garlic, and other seasonings. This dish is typically served as a burrito or as a main course with rice and beans or tortillas on the side. The name carne adovada comes from the Spanish word 'adobar,' which means to marinate or preserve with spices. While the dish is popular in the Southwest United States, its origins can be traced back to the indigenous Pueblo people who lived in the region long before the arrival of Spanish explorers.

2.	Mix together the orange juice, sherry, garlic, salt, and hot sauce in a large bowl.

6.	Bake for 2 to 2.5 hours or until the pork is tender.
7.	Remove the foil and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes to brown the surface of the pork.
