Use Siri on your iPhone Only:

Is your iPad at hand? If so, disable Siri on it, and then keep it enabled on this device.

Why the Fix?:

If mirrored, the iPad is the mother of these two devices. And, with that being said, it goes to the iPad. Disable Siri, and it will go to your other other device (your iPhone) for the prompt.
