As far as I know, I'm not the slightest bit Irish, but I do like corned beef brisket. I can't remember if I made it for St. Patty's Day or New Years day a couple years ago. I'm not sure what the "traditional" way to set it up is, but I make my cabbage sauteed in bacon fat, salt, pepper and garlic. So I just throw all that on a tortilla with some shreadded corned beef brisket. Nothing more, nothing less. delicious.

I had some leftover corned beef and was looking for different ideas.. This was delicious! I used red onion (only because I didn't have any green) Instead of taco sauce, I used horseradish which really complimented the corned beef. Will definitely make these again! Great idea!

These were good tacos. I used whole wheat tortillas, added cilantro, and used nonfat sour cream instead of the cheese. The only thing I would caution on is not overfilling these with the meat, as the saltiness overpowers the other ingredients. Thanks, cookiedog!

Outstanding...what a great idea...something different for a party or to do with your leftovers instead of reuben sandwiches. This would also be a good alternative to traditional corned beef and cabbage if some of your guests are not "meat" people because they could use alternative fillings. Fish tacos with cabbage are always yummy. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Great recipe, cookiedog! We used the soft flour tortillas as we like them better than the hard tacos. We used two types of cheeses, aged cheddar and asiago to get more of a bite. We used salsa as the sauce. These were fantastic and all but my youngest loved them! Very easy to make~ love those crock pot recipes.
