Carnitas is one of my favorite dishes to splurge on if we go out for truly authentic Mexican food. I love the tender spiced pork and the different sauces that can be served with it. When I make it at home I love having diced avocado on it with roasted corn salsa and cilantro lime crema served on a tortilla. Don’t forget the pico, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime!
