how does this equate to carnitas de puerco?

Hello Dear Customer, Thanks for asking this question. Chilorio is a pork dish from the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Chilorio is made with chopped pork seasoned with pasilla chilli pepper and different spices. In making chilorio, pork is slow-simmered for hours until it falls apart. It is then broken into bite-size pieces cooked in lard and chile sauce made from re-hydrated dried chiles. The sauce is usually flavored with different spices. On another hand, Carnitas, literally meaning "little meats", is a dish of Mexican cuisine that originated in the state of Michoacán. Carnitas are made by braising or simmering pork in oil or preferably lard until tender. The process takes three to four hours, and the result is very tender and juicy meat. I hope this answered your question. Thank you! -Kelly from Cordialsa USA Team
