Because of its laborious preparation process, it is reserved for festive events such as birthdays, although it can also be found as an everyday meal.[2]
Encacahuatado is a common stew in the central region of Veracruz, where it is commonly made with pork.[2] In Oaxaca, on the other hand, chicken meat is preferred, as it is in Sierra Norte de Puebla.[3]
