Description

Sink your teeth into these irresistible Corned Beef Tacos, where tender, brined beef meets crisp cabbage and tangy sauerkraut, all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. This fusion of Irish and German flavors brings a comforting, hearty bite perfect for any occasion. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a festive gathering, these tacos deliver bold taste and satisfying texture in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp. caraway seeds, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 1/4 cup grated carrots (from about 1 medium)
  • 1/3 cup sauerkraut
  • 2 Tbsp. neutral oil
  • 1 lb. corned beef, sliced or finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Guinness beer
  • 8 (6″) flour tortillas, divided
  • 4 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded (about 1 c.), divided

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, chopped cilantro, caraway seeds, granulated sugar, and kosher salt to create a creamy dressing.
  2. Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced corned beef and sauté until browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in Guinness beer, scraping up any browned bits, and let simmer for 2 minutes to infuse flavor.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, quickly sauté shredded carrots and cabbage with a pinch of salt until just tender, about 3 minutes.
  5. To assemble each taco, place a spoonful of the beef mixture on a tortilla, top with sautéed cabbage and carrots, add a generous spoonful of sauerkraut, and sprinkle with shredded Swiss cheese.
  6. Fold the tortilla and serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra cilantro.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute low-fat mayo and reduce the cheese. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat the beef and veggies before using. Sauerkraut can be swapped for kimchi for a spicy twist.
