Irish Taco Ingredients

You don’t have to decide between Mexican and Irish cuisine when these tacos with potatoes, corned beef, cabbage and onions combine the best of both worlds! Fusion cooking is always a favourite and this Irish inspired meal in taco form is delicious! For this easy recipe, you will need corned beef, flour or corn tortillas, Irish cheddar cheese, sliced onions, green cabbage, russet potatoes and thousand island dressing.

How to Make Corned Beef Tacos

First of all you need to peel and boil some potatoes and then you can cook onion and cabbage. Mash the potatoes, stirring in the cheese. Now cook thousand island-coated tortillas in a skillet, dressing side up.

Add the corned beef, cabbage and onions on one side and then fold them in half. Once they’re fried to golden brown and smelling incredible, they’re done!

I like to garnish these corned beef hash tacos with chives before serving but you can use any herb you prefer. Parsley or fresh cilantro would work here.

Corned Beef Tacos Variations

These corned beef tacos are wide open to being tweaked! Consider upgrading the sweet onion to Guinness-caramelized white ones or using sour cream instead of the Thousand Island dressing.

You might like to use ‘crema’ for a more balanced Mexican-Irish taco take. To make cream, combine equal parts of sour cream with mayonnaise then squeeze in some lime juice and, if liked, a little hot sauce. If you don’t have sour cream, plain yogurt would also work. Drizzle the finished tacos with crema.

Choose from flour or corn tortillas and pick your favourite cheese to go in there. I love Irish shredded cheddar. It’s similar to sharp cheddar. Swiss cheese or cotija cheese would be tasty alternatives, too. Some people make these with two tortillas instead of just one (with cheese in between them) since that makes the tacos sturdier. You might want to add some sliced jalapeños, too.

What to Serve with this St. Patrick’s Day Dinner

You can take your pick from various Irish inspired recipes that would go well with corned beef tacos. If you’re making a range of appetizers, these are of course a very worthy addition to any buffet spread.

You could omit the potato from the Irish tacos and instead serve mashed potatoes on the side or perhaps Colcannon. Beer bacon cheese bread is another option or you could make something like creamed spinach with garlic or cabbage gratin.

These tacos made with sliced corn beef are really simple to put together and you’re going to love the crunch of the warm tortilla shell with the soft filling inside. The tasty combo of potatoes, corned beef, cabbage, and onions really shines in these Irish tacos and I’m sure you will really like how well everything goes together.

These are great finger food but make sure everyone has a plate and napkin because the juices can run out when you bite into these corned beef hash tacos. You can mix and match the ingredients used to come up with a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day dinner which everyone will enjoy.

So if you usually make the same dishes every year, why not try these Irish tacos with potatoes, corned beef, cabbage, and onions this year for a change. They are a great recipe when you have leftover corned beef. They really do pack a great flavour punch and the taco shells are a great vehicle to deliver all those favourite Irish ingredients in every bite.
