Authentic beef carnitas, slow-cooked to tender perfection and crisped for incredible flavor, are a versatile culinary delight. Properly stored, these savory morsels can elevate tacos, sandwiches, and salads for days to come.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated beef carnitas at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze beef carnitas, allow them to cool completely. Portion them into airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. For best results, consume frozen carnitas within 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for safe consumption, or use the defrost setting on your microwave. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven to restore crispness.

Signs of Spoilage

A sour or off odor that is distinctly unpleasant.
A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the meat.
Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
