Servings: 8 tacos
Calories: 410kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ pound corned beef
- 2 cups oil and vinegar coleslaw
- 1 medium kiwi (peeled and cubed)
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or more)
Crema
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Corned Beef according to recipe directions. Shred or slice thinly when cool enough to handle.
- Prepare the coleslaw, then add one chopped kiwi.
- Mix crema ingredients and whisk to combine. If you want to add a bit of spice, add ½ - 1 teaspoon of Tabasco or your favorite hot sauce.
- Heat and char corn tortillas over a flame or in a cast-iron skillet. Place on tortilla holders and fill with cheese and shredded or sliced corned beef. Top with coleslaw and drizzle with Crema.
Notes
- Sometimes two corn tortillas are used per taco. This is done so that the taco is sturdier and does not fall apart while you are eating it. Of course, you can use flour tortillas, if you prefer.
- Another delicious way to serve these Tacos is by adding a corn tortilla to a hot skillet and melting some cheese over it, then topping it with an additional tortilla. It's a great way to both melt the cheese and join the two tortillas together to form a thicker taco shell.
- If you are pressed for time, you can serve these tacos with sour cream instead of the Crema.
- Other great toppings include diced avocados, caramelized onions, Irish cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, diced red onions, and sauerkraut.
