Member's Mark Fully Cooked Pork Carnitas, 2 lbs.

Our Member's Mark™️ Pork Carnitas turn any meal into a fiesta! We take carnitas, which means "little meats" in Spanish, to the next level by using seasonings inspired by the Mexican state of Michoacán, the birthplace of carnitas. Marbled cuts of pork shoulder are braised low and slow, resulting in small morsels of tender, juicy meat that can be used in all of your favorite dishes. Two pounds of pork is more than enough to feed the whole family.

Carnitas are a delicious and versatile protein option for sandwiches, salads, wraps, tacos and burritos. This is a perfect dish for game day appetizers or after-school snacking. Prepare the carnitas in your microwave or air fryer for meat that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve carnitas as a quick and easy meal with rice and beans or use it as a topping for nachos. Preparing meals has never been easier or more appetizing!
