Ingredients
Scale
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)
Reuben Tacos
- 10 8-inch flour taco tortillas
- 1 cup Russian dressing (from recipe above)
- 1 pound leftover corned beef, diced
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained very well
- Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Russian Dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, prepared horseradish, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well mixed. Cover and chill until ready to use.
- Prepare Oven and Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lay out the 8-inch flour tortillas flat on a baking sheet in a single layer to prepare for assembly.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared Russian dressing down the center of each tortilla. Evenly distribute diced corned beef over the dressing, then top with shredded Swiss cheese.
- Bake the Tacos: Place the baking sheet with the assembled tortillas in the preheated oven. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the corned beef is heated through and the Swiss cheese has melted nicely.
- Add Finishing Touches and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Top each taco with a generous spoonful of well-drained sauerkraut and, if desired, garnish with a pinch of fresh dill. Serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- You can prepare the Russian dressing in advance and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
- This recipe is a great way to use leftover corned beef from a previous meal.
- Be sure to drain the sauerkraut well to avoid soggy tacos.
- Optional fresh dill adds a beautiful aroma and subtle flavor but can be omitted.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
