St. Patrick’s Day may be over but Reubens are good year-round, which is why you should use up any leftover corned beef that remains to make these taquitos. Oh yea you better believe I mixed Mexican and Irish into one amazing appetizer (or entree).

Baked Reuben Taquitos

I was inspired to do such a thing after experiencing Irish eggrolls for the first time and figured I could expand it into other food genres. Cooked corned beef is mixed with shredded cabbage and creamy swiss, then rolled into white corn tortillas to be oven-fried with a light spray of cooking oil. While they bake, whip up the thousand island dipping sauce and you’ll be ready to dive in.

P.S. Job hunt news: I had a second phone interview for the job I told you about last week! The one with the writing assignment. Overall I think it went well and enjoyed the conversation. Unfortunately I blanked and then blundered a bit over one question, but managed to compose myself and continue on without another hitch. Hopefully I will receive good news in a week or two regarding the next step in the process!

Ingredients

TAQUITOS

  • 2 cups sauerkraut (I used roasted garlic)
  • 2 cups chopped corned beef, cooked*
  • 3 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3 oz. shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12-16 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • Cooking spray

DIPPING SAUCE

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp sweet relish
  • 2 Tbsp minced sweet onion
  • 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl mix together cabbage, corned beef, cream cheese, cheese, and caraway until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Working 3 tortillas at a time, stack them on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Cook 30 seconds, or until tortillas are soft and pliable. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla, and roll tightly*. Place seam side-down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Spray the taquitos lightly with cooking spray. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are crisp and golden-brown.
  5. While the taquitos are baking, make the thousand island sauce. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients stirring until blended. Taste and season additionally if desired. Serve with warm taquitos.

 

Notes

*Stop here to freeze. Roll up each individually in foil, place in ziplock bag and put in freezer. Cook by following remaining directions (no thawing necessary).
