I shot a photo in JPEG and RAW with my camera, and when I imported it into Photos it says JPEG + RAW in the upper left corner of the picture. But I can only get access to the JPEG file. Where is my photo in the RAW format?

Use a RAW file as the original in Photos on Mac - Apple Support
It might be slightly different on older versions macOS with older versions of the Photos app, but I am unable to check in El Capitan.

Photos is stacking the RAW+JPEG pair as one photo.
When I want to compare the RAW with theJPEG version , I am duplicating the pair with ⌘D.
Then I am switching one of the duplicates to use the RAW as the original and can now see the RAW and the JPEG side-by-side. The duplicate does not need much extra storage. Both versions will be linked the same original image files.
Oh thank you! That solved the problem, it worked to convert it to RAW as you described!!! I didn't know about that feature. You saved my day 🤩
