CORNED BEEF REUBEN QUESADILLAS



Corned Beef Reuben Quesadillas image

I made these for my families lunch. When I made my future hubbies he had his on wheat tortillas. My future hubbies tortillas were 10-inch so I doubled the meat and cheese. I used deli corned beef. I also use thousand island salad dressing on our quesadillas. I recommend draining the sauerkraut really well before making these or having plenty napkins on hand as they are messy. We really liked these quesadillas my family thought they were so good. I got this recipe from Tops Market courtesy of the Texas Beef Council.

CORNED BEEF QUESADILLAS



Corned Beef Quesadillas image

On a road trip across country we stopped in a restaurant in New Mexico and tried these - I can't remember now what they called them but they were so good I asked for the recipe -- nothin' to it & the best use of your left over corned beef I can imagine!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 6m

Yield 1 quesadilla, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup corned beef, cooked & chopped
1/4 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon diced green chilis (I use Ortega)
2 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Place 1 tortilla in skillet, arrange cheese, corned beef & chilies around surface, top with 2nd tortilla & cook over low heat until inside begins to melt & tortilla is lightly browned, flip over (I usually mash the whole thing down before I do this to avoid a mess) and brown other side until cheese is melted & meat is warmed through. You can add a smidge of oil to the skillet if you like a more browned tortilla, gives it a crispier finish.
  • Slice & enjoy! Of course you can make as many as you want, I just gave an example for one -- . These are so yummy and give you something to do with that left over corned beef! Enjoy!
