Carnitas Tacos

Carnitas, a type of fried pork, are a household staple in the Mexican kitchen with its unique and authentic texture and flavor rooted in the traditional cooking methods from Michoacan. Richly seasoned, slow braised and deep-fried, Carnitas make a flavorful and filling main  course, but they are also used as ingredients in many other authentic Mexican dishes like tamales, tacos, tortas and burritos. Carnitas are  traditionally served accompanied by cilantro, salsa and refried beans.

Heat Del Real Foods® Carnitas according to package instructions. Heat an iron skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet, warm for 1 minute and turn over to heat the other side, repeat with remaining  tortillas. Serve a spoon full of Carnitas in each tortilla. Top with onion and cilantro. Enjoy!
