^^^The above 2 would be my choices.

Might have to get the interior detailed if those don't work.

Hey, carpet steamer/shampooer should do it...you can rent one and get the upholstery attachment.

I know it gets out Dog Urine so it should work on adobo sauce

I just had that same problem, used "Resolve" carpet cleaner on my seats. Took the smell away after 2-3 applications. Good luck!
