12 8-inch flour tortillas
1 pound cooked corned beef (sliced)
12 Swiss cheese slices
1 cup sauerkraut (drained)
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Instructions
1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. 2. Fill each tortilla with 1 Swiss slice, 1 tbsp sauerkraut, and 1–2 oz corned beef. 3. Drizzle ½ tsp sauce mixture (see details) onto each quesadilla. Sprinkle an additional Swiss slice on top if desired. 4. Cook in the skillet until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes per side. 5. Let rest 1 minute, then cut in half and serve.
Notes
Corned beef can be pre-cooked deli meat. Use Provolone if Swiss is unavailable. Quesadillas stay crisp for 1 hour in a low oven (250°F).
