We’ve been on a bit of a carnitas kick here lately. Ever since I shared my favorite Mexican Pork Carnitas recipe with you shortly before Cinco de Mayo, I’ve been wanting to eat them every day. And if you’ve tried that recipe, I know you won’t blame me. It’s kind of insane. We’ve put the carnitas in tacos (so good!), sandwiches, on top of salads, and eaten them on their own. But these taco lettuce wraps top my list of favorite ways to eat carnitas.
