Notes
Leftover taco meat will stay good in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5-7 days.Freezer option. Double this recipe and store half in the freezer to have taco meat on-hand for an easy weeknight dinner. To freeze, place cooked and fully cooled meat in a freezer bag, remove all of the air, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the fridge overnight and then reheat on the skillet (or in the microwave) until warm.Photos by Sasha at Eat Love Eats.
