So, where did this deliciousness come from? Well, Carnitas has its roots in Mexican cuisine, where it's been a staple for centuries. The word "Carnitas" literally means "little meats" in Spanish, which is pretty adorable. And, let me tell you, it's a game-changer for your taste buds.
In traditional Mexican cooking, Carnitas is made by braising pork in its own juices for hours, until it's so tender, it's like butter. And, at Chipotle, they're all about keeping it real and traditional, so you know you're getting the good stuff. They use a special blend of spices and herbs to give it that extra oomph of flavor.
