Carnitas Recipes

In Spanish, carnitas means "little meats". This traditional Mexican dish is typically made from pork, but can also be made from beef. The meat is braised or roasted slowly until it is easily shredded or chopped. It is then roasted at higher heat until it is caramelized. It is often served with cilantro, onion, salsa, guacamole, refried beans and tortillas.
