THE tacos with carnitas they are a traditional Mexican dish loved all over the world that today I propose to you in a light and super quick variant.
Carnitas literally means “small meats”, and is a dish of Mexican cuisine originating from the state of Michoacán, made with spiced and slowly cooked pork. The result is similar to pulled pork. It is generally served on soft Mexican tortillas and topped with pico de gallo, a condiment made from tomatoes, onion, cilantro, chili pepper, and lime juice.
Traditionally, carnitas are seasoned with a blend of spices that include cumin, coriander, chili peppers and oregano, creating a rich and complex flavor profile. The lime juice adds a note of freshness and acidity that balances the richness of the meat.
In the version I present to you today I used it Veal shank of Veal from Casa Vercelli, from the “already cooked in the sack” line to be cooked in less than 20 minutes and seasoned at the end of cooking, once torn with forks, to the famous “pulled” effect.
Veal offers a more delicate texture than pork, making carnitas tacos a unique, light and digestible experience.
Furthermore, the veal of Vitello di Casa Vercelli is obtained only from the meat of fine calves, born, raised and selected in Italy, with an integrated supply chain with certified traceability. A digestible meat, with very little fat and a high protein and amino acid content.
