About Carnitas lasagna
Carnitas Lasagna is a fusion dish that combines the rich flavors of Mexican cuisine with the classic layers of Italian lasagna. It features tender, slow-cooked pork carnitas, seasoned with traditional spices like cumin and oregano, nestled between layers of pasta, creamy ricotta cheese, and a zesty tomato-based sauce infused with cilantro and lime. Mozzarella and cheddar cheese are sprinkled on top, creating a golden crust when baked. While indulgent, Carnitas Lasagna provides a hearty source of protein from the pork and calcium from the dairy, while the tomato sauce offers antioxidants such as lycopene. However, the dish can be high in saturated fat and calories due to the cheeses and pork, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring dietary intake. This satisfying meal is loved for its bold flavors and unique combination of culinary traditions, making it a standout option for food enthusiasts.
