Horseradish Crema
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt*
- 2 teaspoons horseradish +/- - see Ingredients in post
- 1 teaspoon stoneground mustard
- hot sauce - to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Corned Beef and Caramelized Onion
- Start caramelizing the sliced onion. Add a drizzle of olive oil to a sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the onion is soft and has a good amount of color, add the diced corned beef. Continue cooking until you see some crispy edges on the corned beef (about 7-8 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Horseradish Slaw
- Add all veggies and apples to an appropriately sized bowl. Whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Toss with the produce. Squeeze ½ lemon over the top, and toss again. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside. Make the horseradish crema by whisking together the mayonnaise, yogurt, horseradish, mustard, and hot sauce (if using).
- Add about a tablespoon of the horseradish crema to the slaw, tossing to combine. Add additional salt, pepper, and hot sauce as needed. Add remaining sauce to a prep bowl, and set aside.
Irish Tacos
- Warm tortillas by your preferred method.
- Assemble tacos. Start with the corned beef/caramelized onions mixture. Add the spicy slaw, followed by a bit of Irish cheddar. Garnish with a bit of the horseradish crema and a lemon wedge as desired.
Notes
* If you use Greek yogurt, you may want to loosen up the sauce with a bit of milk.
Macronutrients are really hard to calculate on tacos due to variation in quantities of toppings. I included 4 ounces of corned beef per serving, but 3 might be sufficient for 3 tacos. I also used half of the sauce and slaw, and you may or may not use that much. The macros are just a "ballpark" figure.
