Reuben nachos for two

Nachos and Reuben sandwiches are two of my favorite things so I came up with this to use up the leftover corned beef. This can easily be doubled and would be great to serve at a Super Bowl party.

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • ½ cup leftover cubed corned beef

  • ½ (14.5 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained

  • ½ teaspoon caraway seed

  • 4 cups tortilla chips

  • ½ cup Thousand Island dressing

  • 6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corned beef and cook until crisp on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  2. Place drained sauerkraut in a bowl with caraway seed; stir to combine.

  3. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler to high.

  4. Place 1/2 of the chips in an oven-proof skillet. Scatter 1/2 of the corned beef and 1/2 of the sauerkraut on top of the chips. Drizzle 1/2 of the Thousand Island dressing over the corned beef and top with 1/2 of the Swiss cheese. Repeat layers once more.

  5. Broil in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

I recommend buying one of the darker Thousand Island dressings for eye appeal. It looks like a melted nacho cheese sauce once broiled.
