About Exceptional carnitas
Exceptional Carnitas is a flavorful Mexican dish characterized by tender, slow-cooked pork that's juicy on the inside and crispy on the edges. Made with pork shoulder seasoned with a blend of spices, citrus juices, garlic, and herbs, it's traditionally braised and then pan-fried for its signature texture. Carnitas are often served in tacos, burritos, or bowls, accompanied by fresh toppings like salsa, cilantro, and avocado. Rich in protein, carnitas provide essential nutrients like B vitamins and zinc, supporting muscle development and immunity. However, they can be high in calories and fat, particularly saturated, due to the cooking process and cut of meat. Using leaner cuts and opting for baked preparations can offer healthier alternatives. Exceptional Carnitas celebrate authentic Mexican flavors while providing a balanced indulgence when enjoyed in moderation or paired with wholesome sides like beans, vegetables, or whole-grain tortillas.
