Notes
How to reheat corned beef: Reheat cooked corned beef in a microwave safe dish lightly covered with plastic wrap or a paper towel. Heat at 60 percent power for 1 minute. Continue heating at 30 second intervals until heated through. Alternately, heat in a hot skillet stirring frequently until the meat is warmed.
How to make Irish tacos in advance: All of the components of the tacos including the corned beef, Russian dressing and shredded cheese can be prepped up to 4 days in advance. But I don't recommend assembling the tacos in advance. They're the best and tastiest when freshly assembled just before serving.
