We’re just going to come out and say it: tacos are better than sandwiches. Why eat sliced deli meat on a stale roll when you can eat a heaping pile of shredded pork, anointed with some onion and cilantro and tucked into a toasty tortilla? Sure, sandwiches and tacos can be as alike or as different as you want them to be, but at the end of the day the taco wins out. Here’s why:
They’re Prettier
Sandwiches, at best, look like a heaping mess, and at worst they look like the definition of sadness. Tacos, on the other hand, are vibrant, luscious, and eminently photogenic.
They’re Smaller
By the time you get halfway through most sandwiches you’ve got flavor fatigue, are full, and are ready to put it away to maybe finish it at a later date. Tacos, on the other hand, are small enough that one is never enough. It leaves you wanting just a little bit more (as all the best foods do), and there’s always more available.
The Possibilities are Infinite
Hard-shell or soft? Corn or flour? Carnitas or barbacoa? Do you want to go the lettuce, cheese, and tomato route, or the onions and cilantro? Any way you want it, you’ve got it.
They’re Mexican
Mexican food is delicious. Tacos are Mexican. Therefore, tacos are delicious. Sandwiches are generic. Generic food is boring. Therefore, sandwiches are boring.
They’re Balanced
Your average sandwich is a big, mushy pile of food stuffed into a roll. Tacos, on the other hand, are engineered to let each individual component’s flavor shine through in every bite. Each taco is an individual work of art.
They’re Exciting
Ordering a taco from a street cart has a hint of excitement to it, an air of adventure. Each family has their own recipes, and the vast majority of the time you walk away with something unique and delicious, usually for very cheap. With sandwiches, you know exactly what you’re going to get, and it’s usually anything but exciting.

Low-Calorie Turkey Reuben Sandwich
If you stop in any standard deli, you're most likely going to find an oversized version of this classic sandwich stacked high with peppery beef and cheese. This version still has the heart and soul of a Reuben, but with fewer calories and saturated fat, so you can enjoy each bite without worrying about the impact it will have on your waistline.
Why Use a French Press?
Many people believe French press makes the best coffee. These are some reasons why.
Paper filters take out flavor and oils. When eating good foods, the flavor usually exists in the fats and oils. Paper filters in drip machines absorb much of the oil in your coffee grounds. French press doesn&rsquot soak up flavor and adds tiny bits of coffee grounds in the coffee that percolates flavor.
French press allows for steeping. When you get a good cup of tea, you use bulk tea that steeps for several minutes depending on the type of tea. The end result is a mouth-watering cup of tea. The same is true for coffee through a French press. Because the grounds steep instead of filter, the coffee tastes better.
Everything is in the cup. Using a French press means that everything except the ground coffee is in the cup. You taste all the flavors, which adds to the experience. You experience the coffee through all five senses.
No impurities are there. When you buy Folger&rsquos and use a drip machine, you get impurities. First, impurities come from the manufacturing and distribution of the name-brand of coffee. Second, impurities show up from the drip machine and the way the coffee is made. However, with a French press, you drink the coffee the way it is meant to be drunk without impurities.
You get complete saturation of grounds. The French press does not allow you to miss any of the grounds. This means you are getting complete saturation of the coffee and oils. A drip machine doesn&rsquot hit all the grounds. The saturation gives the coffee a different flavor than what you get from a drip machine or percolator.
It&rsquos the right temperature. French press maintains the right water temperature throughout the process, which makes a difference on how the coffee is brewed. Drip machines and percolators often heat up the water quickly and cool down just as quickly, which means the right temperature only happens during the middle of the process instead of throughout the whole brewing cycle.
How to Pickle Onions
How to pickle onions takes about 5 min. if that and then time to cool. They make an excellent condiment for so many dishes. How long do quick pickled onions last? They keep well in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. All you need is a clean jar and lid plus the ingredients and off you go into making these.
I added in a little honey to sweeten things up. It doesn&rsquot make the onions sweet but takes away the sharpness, but yet they are still tangy and crisp. How long do onions take to pickle? You can use these onions after they cool from the hot brine right away, like in 20 min.
It depends on the size of your onion to how much this makes. Some red onions are mammoths, I wouldn&rsquot use one of those!! Look for a medium-sized red onion or use half a large onion. I got my red onions from the farmers market and they were fresh, smaller and wonderful.
Corned Beef Tacos with Creamy Spicy Mustard Sauce
The furthest thing from Irish, I just have zero affinity for the holiday, it&rsquos traditional fare and the sickening amount of green food dye that usually accompanies it.
I don&rsquot own more than 1 green shirt and I find leprechauns to be weird as hell.
Unless it&rsquos on the Lucky Charms box, that dude is cool.
*These corned beef tacos are made in partnership with Sir Kensington&rsquos.
I do love a good taco though (and all things Mexican as you might&rsquove noticed lately) and corned beef might be one of the few Irish foods I find absolutely delicious.
This corned beef hash breakfast sandwich is actually something I look forward to eating all year long. As is creamy Reuben soup!
It&rsquos reminiscent of pastrami and as any good New Yorker would tell you, nothing beats a mile high pastrami sandwich from a legit Jewish deli.
So while I&rsquom steering far, far away from any disturbingly bright green colored foods for the holiday, I decided to be at least somewhat festive with these corned beef tacos.
Naturally colored green stuff like this healthy shamrock shake though is permitted.
It&rsquos a fact that anything tastes better when wrapped up in a tortilla (flour or corn).
I went the flour route with these solely because I didn&rsquot want to purchase 50 corn tortillas and that&rsquos about the smallest quantity they come in for some weird reason) but when you drizzle that &ldquoanything&rdquo with a creamy spicy mustard sauce made with avocado mayonnaise and a kick of horseradish, better becomes an understatement.
Sir Kensington&rsquos makes all natural, non-GMO verified condiments (which you can find at Whole Foods, Fairway, and Mrs. Green&rsquos stores) and I&rsquove been a long time lover of their mustard.
It&rsquos my go-to spread on sandwiches and their spicy brown mustard was the perfect ingredient to bring a nice little kick to these corned beef tacos.
I also used their avocado mayonnaise to get that creamy effect in the sauce.
A good taco has avocado in some shape or form, right?
While the sauce pairs perfectly with the salty corned beef, it&rsquos something that definitely isn&rsquot tied down to the holiday.
I&rsquove already made another batch to use on sandwiches and throw in chicken salads (with some grapes and celery, that would be an amazing lunch!).
Microgreens may be as close as I&rsquom getting to any 4-leaf clovers around here but one bite into these corned beef tacos and I don&rsquot think you&rsquoll miss the traditionalism.
You can always have some Baileys ice cream after dinner if you feel like need to be &ldquofestive&rdquo.
