This flavorful Freezer-friendly Spicy Pork Burrito cooked all day long leaving it tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Perfect for freezer friendly pork burritos.
There’s something that I like and dislike when it comes to Fall. The weather has been weird these days and feels like Summer during the day, but it’s become cooler at night. And last week, our home was invaded with ants. Ugh, I really detest ants. Last Saturday morning, I spotted them crawled in – not just one or two, but hundreds or maybe thousands – all marching joyfully in a long line. It was so freaking disgusting. And as soon as I spotted them, I ran to the nearest Lowe’s to grab some ant baits and bug spray. At least, the ants have gone for now.
TThe source of the infestation is our large backyard. Ever since we moved into this new house, the ant problems always came up when Fall season is approaching. On the positive note, we’re not the only home that has been infested by ants; the same thing happened to our left and right neighbors. Anyway, after 4 days of massive cleaning from one cabinet to another, from first floor to third, our home is finally ants-free (knock on wood).
On a flip side, Fall means slow-cooking time! This Freezer-friendly Spicy Pork Burrito is so easy to make, especially when the busy season started. You can make this spicy pork ahead of time using your slow cooker, and come back four hours later to find a juicy spicy pork. It’s very suitable to be serves over rice and eaten right away. In addition, this freezer-friendly spicy pork burrito can also be your lifesaver on a busy weekday when you just don’t have the time to make newly cooked food.

Freezer Friendly – great idea. I never think to freeze things, but really should as it’ll be a very busy fall and winter.

I love shredded pork, make big batches and then use it over and over. I’m glad hubby puts up with that. These sound great. These sound like a great idea for dinner this week, and I love that you recommend freezing them.

Ant infestations are the worst! Especially when it’s the small tiny ones…that happened to us one year and I swear I almost lost my mind. Luckily you have this delicious burrito to take your mind of it! 🙂
Admin says

Thanks, Teri 🙂
Tara says
I need to make more freezer-friendly meals. This looks like a great one to start with! Sorry about your ants. We have that issue in August. One thing that worked for me was taking a small paper plate and mixing 1 part borax to 3 parts honey, then putting it against where the ants come in. More will appear for a day or so, but then they disappear within 3 days.
Admin says
Great tips… thanks for sharing, Tara 🙂

Oh, my goodness, Linda! I could dive right into that dish of pulled pork, never mind the rest of the ingredients. Love, love, love these burritos. Those ants are a menace, aren’t they?!

Glad you like the pork, Stacy 🙂

Oh wow! That sounds amazing! I’m sorry for your ant problem. I hate those things too. Thankfully we don’t have too many where I live. We do have spiders though. I hate them so much. I’m going to add your burrito to my list of things to make!
