Reuben Quesadilla

If you like Reubens, you’ll go crazy over this easy to make Reuben Quesadilla. Mounds of corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese are sandwiched between a flour tortilla, with Russian dressing on the side. It’s perfect for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration or any time for that matter!

Ingredients for Reuben Quesadilla

I used the following ingredients for this incredible quesadilla: Flour tortilla, vegetable oil, Swiss cheese, corned beef, homemade sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. If you don’t happen to make your own sauerkraut, you can always use store-bought. The same goes for Russian dressing!

Making the Reuben Quesadilla

I started by adding a bit of vegetable oil to a 12-inch skillet set over medium heat. Then, I added a 10-inch flour tortilla. Next, I placed some slices of Swiss cheese on half of the tortilla, followed by slices of corned beef. After that, I topped the corned beef with some sauerkraut and finished it off with some more sliced Swiss cheese.

I folded the tortilla in half and cooked the quesadilla on one side until it was golden brown. This took about 4 to 5 minutes. Then, I flipped the quesadilla over and cooked it on the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes until that side was golden brown.

After I removed the quesadilla from the skillet, I cut it into 4 wedges. I served it with some Russian dressing on the side. It was totally awesome. All the flavors of a reuben sandwiched in a crispy flour tortilla. Yum!
