Instructions

  • Prepare the Beef Filling: Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Brown beef cubes in olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove beef. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened (5-7 mins). Add garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with Guinness, scraping up browned bits. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire, thyme, and bay leaf. Return beef to pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low for 2.5-3 hours until fork-tender. While beef cooks, boil and mash potatoes. Remove beef, shred, discard herbs, and stir shredded beef back into sauce. Fold in mashed potatoes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Whip Up the Creamy Slaw: In a bowl, whisk mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add shredded cabbage and parsley; toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Assemble Your Irish Tacos: Warm tortillas (or crisp into hard shells). Spoon beef and potato filling into each tortilla. Top with creamy cabbage slaw, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
