carnitas tacos
Shredded pork wraps
Carnitas tacos are tacos filled with carnitas—pork that has been braised or slow-cooked until tender, then shredded and often crisped.
The meat is typically seasoned with citrus, garlic, and spices.
Served on small corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, and salsa: We ordered carnitas tacos from the truck on the corner.
