Ingredients
2 large flour tortillas
¾ cup cooked corned beef, chopped
½ cup sauerkraut, well drained
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2–3 tablespoons Russian or Thousand Island dressing
1 tablespoon butter (or oil)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Heat the Skillet
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. -
Layer the First Tortilla
Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the Swiss cheese evenly over the tortilla. -
Add the Filling
Spread the chopped corned beef over the cheese. Add the drained sauerkraut and drizzle with dressing. -
Top and Finish Layering
Sprinkle remaining Swiss cheese on top and place the second tortilla over everything. -
Cook Until Golden
Cook for 3–4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula. Carefully flip and cook another 3–4 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted. -
Garnish and Serve
Remove from the skillet, sprinkle with chopped chives, let rest 1 minute, then slice into wedges. Serve with extra dressing for dipping.
Notes
Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent soggy tortillas.
• Cook over medium heat to avoid burning before the cheese melts.
• Rye-style tortillas can be used for a more traditional Reuben flavor.
• Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in a skillet or air fryer for crispiness.
