How to Serve Irish Tacos
Serve these Irish Tacos warm, perhaps with a side of extra Guinness mustard sauce for dipping. You can also offer additional toppings like hot sauce or sliced jalapeños for those who like a little heat. They pair wonderfully with a light salad or some colcannon for a complete meal.
How to Store Irish Tacos
If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers. Keep the taco shells, corned beef, and sauces separate to maintain their crispiness. They’ll stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the beef and veggies in a pan before assembling them back into the taco shells.
Tips to Make Irish Tacos
- For added flavor, season the mashed potatoes with a little butter and milk.
- Get creative with toppings—sour cream, green onions, or even a sprinkle of bacon bits can elevate your tacos.
- Use leftover corned beef from a previous meal to make prepping these tacos even easier!
Variation
For a vegetarian version, substitute the corned beef with sautéed mushrooms or jackfruit. You can enhance the dish by adding some spices like paprika or chili powder to the sautéed cabbage for extra depth.
