IRISH TACOS



Irish Tacos image

You can certainly eat corned beef with boiled cabbage and carrots, but it can be a great deal more exciting to pile the shredded meat - ruddy pink, salty, fatty and meltingly sweet - into warm flour tortillas, then top it with a bright, crunchy, slightly fiery cabbage slaw. The contrast between the soft and the crisp, the salt and the sweet, is fantastic - particularly if you adorn each taco with a few pickled jalapeños and, perhaps, an additional swipe of mayonnaise. It's not fusion cooking, nor appropriation. It's just the fact that everything tastes good on a warm tortilla.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     tacos, main course

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 to 2 1/2 pounds corned beef (see recipe)
1 small head of green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced into julienne
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce, or to taste
12 to 16 flour tortillas, warmed
Sliced fresh or pickled jalapeños

Steps:

  • Warm the corned beef in its cooking liquid, or wrap it in foil and set on a sheet pan in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes or so.
  • Make the coleslaw: Mix cabbage and carrots together in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt or sour cream, cider vinegar, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce to taste.
  • Pour half the sauce over the cabbage and carrots and toss to coat thoroughly. Season to taste. Reserve remaining sauce.
  • When the corned beef is hot, remove from liquid or foil and use two forks to shred it. Serve with the warmed tortillas, sliced jalapeños, the slaw, remaining white sauce and some hot pepper sauce.

SLOW COOKER CORNED BEEF TACOS



Slow Cooker Corned Beef Tacos image

Feel free to used leftover corned beef. We loved the Guinness beer cream sauce. I made that a day in advance. I did feel it was missing something. So I added a little hot sauce & mustard to the cream sauce. Perfect! But you could use any sauce for these tacos if you don't like the beer flavor. The recipe originally called for 2 bottles of Guinness beer for the meat. I thought one was enough, Use your best judgment. Ihttps://sharedappetite.com/recipes/slow-cooker-corned-beef-tacos/

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of corned beef: The best cut for tacos is the brisket, which is a well-marbled and flavorful cut of meat.
  • Cook the corned beef correctly: Corned beef can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common method is to boil it. To boil corned beef, place it in a large pot and cover it with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  • Shred the corned beef: Once the corned beef is cooked, shred it using two forks. This will make it easier to eat in tacos.
  • Make a flavorful taco filling: In addition to the corned beef, you can add other ingredients to your taco filling, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your tacos taste better than store-bought tortillas. If you can, make your own tortillas or buy them from a local tortilleria.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Spicy corned beef tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover corned beef, and they can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty meal, give spicy corned beef tacos a try!
