#carnitas

The biggest divide here is in the cooking method: Carnitas are slow-cooked in pork fat, often in large copper pots, while pulled pork can be made using a variety of methods and tools.

The key to carnitas is to let the meat cook low and slow until it's meltingly tender, which takes several hours but involves relatively little effort.

Barbacoa, a traditional Mexican dish, is made with slow-braised beef and seasoned with ingredients like garlic, onion, and smoked chiles for a rich flavor.
