Carnitas
Carnitas, literally meaning "little meats", is a dish of Mexican cuisine that originated in the state of Michoacán. Carnitas are made by braising or simmering pork in oil or preferably lard until tender. The process takes three to four hours, and the result is very tender and juicy meat, which is then typically served with chopped cilantro (coriander leaves), diced onion, salsa, guacamole, tortillas, and refried beans (frijoles refritos).

Carnitas
Carnitas, literally "little meats," are a type of braised or roasted pork in Mexican cuisine. Pork carnitas are traditionally made using the heavily marbled, rich 'boston butt' or 'picnic ham' cuts of pork. The 6–16 lb sections are usually cut down to a workable size and seasoned heavily before slow braising or deep frying. At this stage, the collagen in the meat has broken down sufficiently to allow it to be pulled apart by hand or fork or chopped with a cleaver. Prior to serving, the pork, along with some of the rendered liquid, is placed in fairly shallow pans and roasted at high heat for a few minutes. The carnitas of Sahuayo, Michoacán, are internationally well-known; they are served accompanied with chopped coriander leaves and diced onion, salsa, guacamole, tortillas, refried beans, lime and radishes. Specific cuts of the carnitas can be requested. It can be a dish by itself, or as an ingredient in tamales, tacos, tortas, and burritos.
