About Pork carnita
Pork Carnitas is a traditional Mexican dish featuring tender, slow-cooked pork that's seasoned with garlic, cumin, oregano, and citrus for a rich, savory flavor. The pork is typically cooked until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender and slightly crisped for added texture. Often served as a filling for tacos, burritos, or bowls, carnitas are paired with toppings like fresh cilantro, onion, and lime for a balanced taste. While high in protein, pork carnitas can also contain higher amounts of fat, especially from the cooking process, making portion control important for a healthier meal. When paired with whole-grain tortillas, fresh vegetables, or lighter accompaniments, pork carnitas can fit into a balanced diet while celebrating authentic Mexican culinary traditions.
