Originating from the Mexican state of Michoacán, carnitas is a flavorful dish made from pork (usually front sections or pork shoulder) braised, roasted, or slow-cooked in its fat over seven hours until fully tender and succulent.
Carnitas, which translates to little meats, is often served with tortillas and salsas, beans, guacamole, lime, or fresh vegetables. In Michoacán, carnitas are found everywhere, from street stalls to upscale restaurants, although the dish is more often made for special occasions such as Christmas, anniversaries, or birthdays.
Tender, fresh, and tasty carnitas are a special treat for meat lovers worldwide.
