Ingredients

• 1 lb Corned beef
• 2 tbsp Cooking oil
• 1 White onion, diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Cabbage, thinly sliced
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Ground paprika
• 8 Flour or corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 2 tbsp Pickled jalapeños (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage softens and starts to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Slice or shred the cooked corned beef into bite-sized pieces. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the corned beef and cook until slightly crisped around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and lime juice to make the tangy mustard sauce.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, in the microwave, or by wrapping them in foil and placing them briefly in a low oven.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos: Start by layering a scoop of sautéed cabbage onto each tortilla. Top with the crisped corned beef, a drizzle of the mustard sauce, and any optional toppings like fresh cilantro or pickled jalapeños.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Corned Beef and Cabbage Tacos!
