Mexi/Irish meal help!

Need some ideas for a Mexi/Irish potluck!

I thought it would be fun to spice up our staff meeting on Monday (the 17th) with a potluck. After some discussion, we agreed to blend Mexican and Irish cuisines, especially since our one Hispanic colleague was having trouble with just Irish dishes. I picked up some corned beef, but now I’m looking for inspiration. I came across a recipe for corned beef tacos with a creamy, spicy mustard slaw, which sounds good, but I’d love to hear any other suggestions you might have!

    That sounds like such a fun idea! Corned beef tacos with a creamy, spicy mustard slaw is a fantastic start. Here are a few more ideas to blend Mexican and Irish flavors:

    1. Corned Beef Burritos: Wrap the corned beef with rice, black beans, cheese, and some sautéed peppers into a burrito. You can add some guacamole for a creamy touch.

    2. Guinness Beef Enchiladas: Slow-cook the corned beef in Guinness for added flavor, then shred it and roll it up in tortillas before smothering them in a spicy enchilada sauce and cheese, baking until golden.

    3. Irish Nachos: Use crispy potato wedges or chips instead of tortilla chips, and top with corned beef, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and a drizzle of sour cream or a spicy mustard sauce.

    4. Taco Salad with Corned Beef: Layer lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and corn, then top with seasoned corned beef and a dressing made with a mix of ranch and salsa.

    5. Spicy Mustard Potato Salad: Make a potato salad using Irish potatoes, but dress it with a zesty mustard vinaigrette to keep that Mexican twist.

    6. Salsa Verde Colcannon: A twist on traditional colcannon, mix in some salsa verde and spices with the mashed potatoes and cabbage for a fusion side dish.

    Hopefully, these ideas inspire you! The blend of Mexican and Irish flavors is bound to make for a memorable meal. Enjoy your potluck!
