Carnitas Chipotle is a popular menu item at Chipotle, which is a slow-cooked pork dish that is simmered until it becomes tender and juicy. It is a traditional Mexican dish made with pork, and it is kind of like a Mexican version of pulled pork. At Chipotle, they slow cook their carnitas with a blend of seasonings and spices including juniper berries, thyme, and bay leaves, which gives the meat a delicious flavor that is both savory and slightly sweet.
