We had these at an Irish Pub, they were to die for. A combination we thought wouldn't taste too good but all the patrons said it was the best thing on the menu, and they were right! Corned beef, coleslaw and sauce inside a flour tortilla.

These are a favorite in my house after St. Patty's Day. I usually use corn tortillas and add mashed spuds if they are around. Top with tangy sharp shredded cheddar cheese and these are Great!! The combo of coleslaw and corned beef reminds me of NY deli sammies, OH YUMMO. Thank You PacNWCook. Got a good one here:) Read More

I questioned this recipe because the sauce contains a lot of plain yogurt. I hate plain yogurt-it's bitter. Even before I put the tacos together I was still skeptical because when I sampled the sauce bitter plain yogurt was all I could taste. BUT THEN...I put it all together and YUMMO!! Delicious--I used the coleslaw dressing recipe from "Simple Coleslaw" on this site too! Oh and it does make a lot more yogurt sauce then you would probably ever use Read More

These were really good. I haven't tried anything outside the traditional taco, but I really loved the flavors and how they came together. My husband was scheptical until he tasted them. Then he asked me to put the recipe in my regular rotation. Thanks! Read More

Yum Yum Yum My family and my parents really enjoyed this new twist on tacos. To save time I cooked the corned beef in the crock-pot all day and then shredded the meat before serving. We liked the combination of the yogurt sauce and the coleslaw. This makes way more yogurt sauce than what is needed for the recipe. I easily had enough of the sauce leftover that I could have used it for the slaw dressing instead of regular slaw dressing. I am going to do that the next time I make this recipe. I also added about a teaspoon of cayenne pepper as a dash was not even noticeable. I warmed the tortillas on a griddle so that I could heat more than one at a time. This recipe is repeat worthy - and I tried it just in time to stock up on corned beef that will soon be on sale for St. Patrick's Day. Read More
