Carnitas, AKA "little meats", is a Mexican dish that originated in the state of Michoacán. Carnitas are made by braising or simmering pork lard until tender, then slightly pulled and crisped. The result is juicy, yet crispy. Carnitas are one of my favorite tacos of all time traditionally served on fresh corn tortillas with cilantro and onions. Bonus Ranch Water recipe included in this video - Ranch water is a classic Texas cocktail. Making this in a Topo Chico bottle is a fun way to make this drink portable. It's only 3 ingredients and has been cooling off Cowboys for years. Cheers, y'all!
