Carnitas (Lechon)

Carnitas is a popular Mexican dish that originated in the state of Michoacán. It is made by braising or simmering pork until tender. The process takes three to four hours, and the result is the most succulent meat you'll ever eat. For a tasty dinner, add our carnitas to tacos, salads, or soups. In the morning, scramble with eggs for a delicious protein-forward breakfast.
