Description
This Reuben Quesadillas recipe transforms the classic Reuben sandwich into a cheesy, crispy quesadilla filled with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and tangy Thousand Island dressing. Perfect for lunch or dinner in minutes!
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked corned beef, chopped or shredded
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
- Spread Thousand Island dressing evenly on one side of two tortillas.
- On the same tortillas, layer corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top with the remaining tortillas to form two quesadillas.
- Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the sauerkraut is well-drained to avoid soggy quesadillas.
- Use rye or pumpernickel tortillas if available for an authentic Reuben flavor twist.
- Add a sprinkle of caraway seeds for an extra flavor boost.
