Reuben Tacos

mylifeinbalancegroup.com/reuben-tacos/
My favorite way to eat a Reuben - as a taco! With deliciously savory and tender corned beef, some traditional sauerkraut, creamy Russian dressing, and plenty of Swiss cheese, this recipe is great way to use up leftover corned beef or to make anytime you're craving LOTS of flavor.

Recipe Makes (Approximate): 10 tacos

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Small bowl

Ingredients

For the Russian Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup (or ketchup-style chili sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • salt (to taste)

For the Reuben Tacos

  • 10 8-inch flour taco tortillas
  • 1 cup Russian dressing (from recipe above, see Notes)
  • 1 pound leftover corned beef (diced, see Notes)
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup sauerkraut (drained very well)
  • fresh dill (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

For the Russian Dressing

  • Add all ingredients to small bowl and stir until thoroughly combined. Chill until ready to serve.

For the Reuben Tacos

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and lay tortillas out flat on baking sheet.
  • Spread approximately 2 tablespoons Russian dressing down center of each tortilla. Top tortillas with equal amounts of corned beef and shredded Swiss cheese.
  • Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake 5 to 8 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with sauerkraut and a pinch of fresh dill, if desired. Serve warm.

Recipe Notes

  • Corned Beef: If you don't have leftover corned beef, use 1 pound of deli corned beef that's sliced thicker than you would normally use for sandwiches.
  • Russian Dressing: You could also use Thousand Island dressing. It's not as authentic but it's super easy to find prepared.
