Carnitas plate

Pork simmered until it falls apart, then browned, with rice, black beans and tortillas straight off the comal.

Carnitas are a patience dish. The pork simmers in its own fat until it gives up, then hits the heat again so the edges brown while the middle stays soft. It comes as a plate with rice, black beans, tortillas made here, and the two salsas that live on every table.
