Reuben Nachos for Two Recipe
Reuben nachos for two combine favorite things – nachos and Reuben sandwiches – developed to creatively use leftover ingredients through sandwich fusion and repurposing techniques. This creative recipe transforms beloved deli sandwich components into shareable nacho format perfect for couples. The fusion approach creates unique comfort food experiences.

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.
Ingredients
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
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corned beef and cook until crisp on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Place drained sauerkraut in a bowl with caraway seed; stir to combine.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler to high.
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.
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.
