Carnitas are commonly served as a tortilla filling in tacos or burritos or as a main dish alongside rice and beans. They are often garnished with cilantro, red onions, salsa, sour cream, and a squeeze of lime or orange juice to enhance the flavors. We suggest topping your pork carnitas with avocado crema, healthy guacamole, vegan cashew queso, Mexican pickled onions, or creamy jalapeño ranch dressing.
