Corned Beef Hash Tacos

I love Mexican food, especially because I grew up in a home where there was always something good cooking on the stove.  My grandmother would cook every day and make delicious homemade food from her native country of Jalisco, Mexico.  I had my favorites and still make them today but sometimes I like to venture away and create my own twist on some of my favorite foods.

One of those dishes is tacos.  While I enjoy the soft tacos filled with carne, cilantro, onions and lime juice, I really love the crunchy fried tacos.  Traditionally filled with ground beef, shredded beef or chicken, I've never really been a fan of those fillings.  Many, many years ago, I started making my fried tacos with corn beef hash filling.  I can't even tell you how I came across this idea because I had never eaten corn beef hash before.  Maybe I was craving tacos and that's the only meat product we had in the house at the time (my dad used to eat it), I don't really remember.  I just know that because I like things with a crunchy texture, I cooked the can of corn beef until it was dark and crisp.  I made the tacos and fell in love with them.

When I was dating my husband who also comes from a home where traditional Mexican food was made and is pretty picky about his food, I made the tacos for him and he loved them.  Now these are the only tacos my kids want me to make at home.  They are so full of flavor and so, so good!
