What it is

The carnitas are seasoned to achieve a savory, slightly crispy texture, characteristic of traditional Mexican preparation. The cilantro rice offers a bright, herbaceous counterpoint to the rich pork. It is designed for quick and easy meal solutions.

To enjoy, simply heat the contents of the package. You can microwave it directly in its container for a few minutes until thoroughly heated. Alternatively, for a crispier carnitas texture, you can transfer the carnitas to a skillet and heat them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired crispness. The rice can be heated alongside the carnitas or separately. Serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
