# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 14 oz cooked corned beef, shredded

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 medium potatoes, diced
03 - 1 cup green cabbage, thinly sliced
04 - 1 small carrot, grated
05 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
06 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

→ Spices & Oils

12 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil
13 - 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
14 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
15 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder

# Method:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook stirring frequently until golden and crisp, approximately 12–15 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
02 - Combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, parsley, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly until all vegetables are evenly coated. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
03 - Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet. Add shredded corned beef and sauté for 2–3 minutes until heated through and slightly crisped at edges.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or warm in microwave until soft and pliable. Keep warm until ready to assemble.
05 - Place a layer of crispy potatoes on each warm tortilla. Top with warmed corned beef followed by a generous spoonful of cabbage slaw. Finish with a drizzle of sour cream across the top.
06 - Serve tacos immediately while tortillas are warm and potatoes remain crisp. Offer extra slaw on the side for guests who prefer additional crunch.
