I had to look up what carnitas is. According to the “look up” function on iPhone it may involve pig snouts.

Snouts are rarely included in our neck of the woods. Typically, a cheap shoulder roast is used. I didn't cook it lard, either. Just olive oil, lime and orange juice. Plus cumin, Mexican oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Baked in a heavy covered cast iron pot in a 300f (150c) oven for about 4 hours. After it's fall apart tender you shred it into chucks and fry or broil it a little bit too crisp up the edges.

That sounds very good.
I’ve never tried snouts, but I would be happy to if they were in it, although the one in that image looks like it needs to be crisped up a bit.
