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
I used the following ingredients for this incredible Ruben 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 Reuben 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 Reuben 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!

I love quesadillas as well. They are so easy and so tasty. The Reuben Quesadilla is amazing! Hope it turns out well for you. Chula
We LOVED them, they were awesome and sooooooo easy. I would have never thought to make a quesadilla with a Reuben take on it. I didn’t have time to make a homemade Russian dressing but found one at the grocery, Ken’s. My husband loved them too and I often refer to him as Mr. Picky Eater. These were a homerun.
