Carnitas tacos showcase slow-cooked pork shoulder that's tender and juicy, wrapped in warm, hand-pressed corn tortillas with onions and cilantro. The pork develops a subtle crisp edge from rendering fat during the long simmer. They arrive simply garnished to let the meat's rich flavor dominate, often paired with fresh salsas. The handmade tortillas provide a soft, nutty base that elevates the classic filling.
