Arabs conquered the land during the 8th and 9th centuries, followed by the Oghuz Turks, Kimak and Kipchak, and Huns and Saka peoples. Mongols, led by Genghis Khan, invaded in 1219, and Kazakhstan subsequently fell under a series of Mongolian leaders.
Carnitas Torta. A Torta is a Mexican sandwich and is a delicious combination of meat, beans, and vegetables. Our version has pork, beans, and veggies between our S.Rosen's French Rolls for a tasty and satisfying sandwich.
Some restaurants will skip the rotisserie and cook the meat on a griddle. Carnitas is essentially twice cooked pork stew - braised, shredded and fried to give it a crispy outside. There is no sweetness added to carnitas. Carnitas are pieces of pork that are fried in lard and served chopped as a taco filling. Al Pastor (Shepherds' Style) are thin slices of pork that are layered onto a vertical spit with anchiote and chile powders (everyone has their own recipe) with a slice of pineapple on top.
