Pork Carnitas are a delicious Mexican dish made from slow-cooked, tender pork that’s seasoned with a blend of spices, citrus, and herbs. Originating from the state of Michoacán, this savory delicacy is typically simmered until the meat is melt-in-your-mouth tender, then pulled apart for serving. While the pork provides rich flavor and protein, it’s important to enjoy it in moderation, as carnitas can be higher in fat. Pair them with fresh toppings like cilantro, onion, and avocado for a burst of flavor and nutrition. Perfect in tacos, burritos, or on their own, Pork Carnitas are a feast for the senses!
