Taco shells are beyond handy to have in the pantry for quick and easy dinners. You can stuff them with almost anything and have an easy dinner in a crunchy “wrap” in minutes.

We love to make our tacos with everything from The Best Taco Meat to leftover Grilled Chicken or Shredded Chicken, Carnitas (street taco style), and all of the different Pulled Pork varieties.

Just about any leftover works when it’s held in a crispy taco. And yes, my kids have tried stuffing taco shells with almost everything.

Leftover Pulled Pork

Pulled pork is my go-to main dish for so many reasons: it can be made in the crockpot, it easily feeds a crowd, it makes spectacular leftovers, it can be used in countless ways!

Classic Sweet and Tangy Pulled Pork, Mexican Pulled Pork, Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas, Crock-Pot Green Chile Pork, and Spicy Honey Lime Pork are all great options here.

We love pulled pork in traditional Pulled Pork Sandwiches with a side of Garlic Lover’s Potato Salad as well as rolled into Enchiladas and Taquitos for a Mexican Meal that feeds a crowd.

I’ve also been known to toss pulled pork in taco salad and serve it with p

Slow Cooker Mexican Pork is some of the best pulled pork you can make at home. On its own, stuffed into tacos or burritos, or served over rice, the pork is slightly spicy, with just enough heat to keep it interesting.

The Mexican spices infuse the pork roast as it simmers in the crock-pot; meaning that with very little effort you can have dinner on the table.

I’ve made this pork countless times over the past ten years. After I made this the first time and served the pork in burrito bowls; I couldn’t resist trying my hand at the taquitos that I’ve included below.

In the past, I’ve used a sirloin tip pork roast for this recipe, but any pork you enjoy will work. An 8-10 lb pork shoulder works nicely when cooking for a crowd or when you want to have an abundance of pulled pork on hand.

Leftover pulled pork freezes beautifully. Once the meat is cooked and shredded, let it cool then store it in an airtight bag. Let it thaw completely in the refrigerator prior to reheating.

Use the Slow Cooker Mexican Pork to make Pulled Pork Tacos, Red Chile Burritos, Quesadillas, or Pulled Pork Enchiladas for easy make-ahead meals.

I highly recommend multiplying this recipe for the largest amount of pork you can fit in your crock-pot. Trust me that you will want to have a lot of leftovers.

Ultimate Italian Sausage and Peppers Rigatoni

The ultimate Italian sausage and peppers rigatoni with caramelized onions and peppers, crispy pepperoni and juicy grape tomatoes. Just wait until you try it!

This pasta was entirely inspired by pizza. If it’s good as a pizza, it’s meant to be pasta and vice versa in our book. Cade could eat pizza every day of his life and be quite happy, and pasta is quickly taking hold on his heart as well. So if you think this is good we highly encourage you to bust out our Little Italy Pizza recipe too. Like, this weekend, for sure.

Cade and I love good food and the older we get it’s interesting to see how our tastes are changing. Cade never was into dessert and now he’s got a huge sweet tooth. I never was all that into peppers and onions and now anything savory hits the spot for me far more than treats. Which means this Ultimate Italian Sausage Pasta is one of our favorites, followed by a skookie for Cade. Ridiculous…
