In Mexico there are a few standard meat fillings for tacos and burritos and Carnitas is one of them. Letting the meat "fry" in it's own rendered fat is the most important step and if you skip this step you will just have chunks of cooked pork. The long simmering time loosens up the pork and makes it fork tender. Try it next time you make tacos or burritos or enjoy it as a main dish topped with onions and cilantro.
