Recipe Notes
Carnitas goes great with a sweet and spicy salsa. If you are buying or making, our favorites include mango or pineapple.
If you have leftovers, this meat can be added to so many dishes! Make burritos or bowls, mix them into scrambled eggs, top a plate of nachos, add to quesadillas, add as a tostada topping, make sandwiches — and if none of those appeal, the meat also freezes well.
