    Ingredients - Here's What You'll Need for One Reuben Crunchwrap

    I'm including the ingredients for one Reuben Crunchwrap in this post.

    Ingredients for one Reuben Crunchwrap.

    Layering the Ingredients - Step-by-Step

    1. I started with a 10-inch flour tortilla and spread two tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing into a 6-inch circle in the center.

    1. Then, I sprinkled two tablespoons of shredded Swiss cheese on the Thousand Island dressing.

    1. Next, I added about a cup of coarsely chopped corned beef on the cheese.
    Corned beef added on top of the cheese.
    1. For the crunch, I added a 5-inch tostado that I had crisped up in the oven according to the package directions.
    1. After that, I spread more Thousand Island dressing on the Tostado.
    1. Next came the sauerkraut, which I had drained and squeezed with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
    Sauerkraut added to the crunchwrap.
    1. I finished the layering with some additional shredded Swiss cheese.

    Finishing the Reuben Crunchwrap

    1. Before wrapping the large flour tortilla around the ingredients, I topped the layers with a smaller flour tortilla.
    Smaller flour tortilla added on top of the layers.
    1. Then, I tightly folded the edges of the large tortilla toward the center, creating pleats. Once that was done, I quickly inverted the Crunchwrap so the pleats were on the bottom.
    Folding the large tortilla towards the center over the ingredients.
    1. I brushed a large nonstick skillet with melted butter and added the Crunchwrap, pleated side down. I brushed the top with melted butter and let it cook over medium heat for three to four minutes.
    Crunchwrap in the pan, pleasted side down.
    1. Then, I flipped the Crunchwrap and cooked the other side until golden brown. This took another three minutes or so.
    1. Finally, I transferred the Crunchwrap to a cutting board and cut it in half.

    The 7-Layer Reuben Crunchwrap had all of the iconic flavors of a Reuben sandwich wrapped in crispy perfection. It’s ideal for lunch, dinner, or game day.

    The delicious combination of a deli classic and a fast-food favorite is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Yum!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is there a substitute for the tostado?

    Sometimes, I'll use four to six triangular tortilla chips arranged in a circle in place of the tostado. They work well.

    Can pastrami be substituted for corned beef?

    Pastrami makes an excellent substitute, delivering delicious, smoky flavor.

    Which is better - deli or leftover corned beef?

    You can use either deli corned beef or left over corned beef in this recipe. If using leftover corned beef, just be sure to chop the corned beef small enough so that there are no large chunks. I use my food processor with a 3-mm blade to thinly slice leftover corned beef!

    What about leftovers?

    The Reuben Crunchwrap is best eaten immediately. However, if there are leftovers, store them covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the Crunchwrap in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through. I prefer not to use the microwave because it makes the Crunchwrap soggy.

    Recipe Tips

    • Unless the large tortilla is really fresh, cover it with a damp paper towel and warm it for 5 to 10 seconds in the microwave before folding to prevent tearing.
    • Try shredded Gruyère or provolone cheese instead of Swiss for a unique flavor twist.
    • Try to remove as much moisture as possible from the sauerkraut to minimize a soggy interior.
    • I like to serve the Reuben Crunchwrap with additional Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.

    Tips/Notes

    1. You can substitute 4 to 6 triangular tortilla chips, arranged in a circle, for the tostado. 
    2. Be sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the sauerkraut to minimize the interior of the Crunchwrap from becoming soggy.
    3. Leftovers, if any are best reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
