Carnitas, literally meaning "little meats", in Mexican cuisine, is a dish made by braising, simmering and frying pork in lard, its own fat, or cooking oil. The name "carnitas" is, historically, the colloquial name given in Mexico for the French dish rillons de Tours, also known in Spanish as chicharrón de Tours.
