  • 1 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 0.5 tsp corned beef seasoning recipe extra spices
Assembly and Topping
  • 12 small corn tortillas street taco size
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded
  • 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp parsley fresh chopped

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Sizzle and Crisp
  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling.
  2. Add the shredded corned beef and diced potatoes to the skillet, spreading them in an even layer.
  3. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust on the beef and potatoes.
  4. Stir in the sliced cabbage and corned beef seasoning recipe, sautéing for 3 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
Assemble and Serve
  1. Heat a separate dry skillet or griddle over medium heat to warm the tortillas.
  2. Place a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla and top immediately with shredded Swiss cheese.
  3. Allow the cheese to melt slightly from the heat of the filling before removing from the pan.
  4. Drizzle each taco with Thousand Island dressing and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your leftover corned beef is patted dry before hitting the hot skillet to achieve maximum crispiness. These tacos are best served immediately while the tortillas are warm and the cheese is melty.
