Nearly any meat is good in fried taco form. We remembered this recently as we pulled a frozen hunk of cooked, sliced pork out of our freezer. We had no idea how long the pork had been in the freezer, or what flavors or marinades it had been cooked with. But no worries. Pork — meet the food processor!
One of our favorite tricks for mystery meat from the freezer is to toss it straight in the food processor. Our Cuisinart, armed with a regular old chopping blade, whips up almost any meat (aside from slick fish), into a light and fluffy mound of deliciousness.
We added in some leftover cilantro and found ourselves with a delicious filling for some leftover tortillas in the fridge. A bit of heated oil, a smidgen of cheese and we were chowing down on mystery meat — which has never tasted so good.
The best part is that the taquitos can be frozen and reheated as needed. Tasty and economical!

Sounds like a good idea for those items which have lost their labels.
Please remember though, that if the meat was cooked before being frozen, you cannot re-freeze it safely.
Although that might be true, we've never had a problem with it when used in this manner before :)
Though now that I've said something I'm sure Murphy's Law will find me!
