Carnitas are a traditional Mexican dish made from tender, slow-cooked pork, seasoned with a blend of spices and citrus for a burst of flavor. Originating from the state of Michoacán, this savory delight is often served in tacos, burritos, or alongside rice and beans. While carnitas boast a rich taste and satisfying texture, they can be higher in fat due to the cooking process. However, when enjoyed in moderation and balanced with fresh toppings like cilantro, onions, and lime, they make for a delicious and fulfilling meal that celebrates the heart of Mexican cuisine.
