Description
These Reuben Stuffed Baked Taquitos are a delicious fusion of a classic Reuben sandwich and crispy taquitos. Filled with savory corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy Thousand Island dressing, then baked until golden and crispy, they make a perfect appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups cooked corned beef, chopped
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
Taquitos
- 8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
- Cooking spray or oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for baking the taquitos.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, drained sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Assemble Taquitos: Lay out each tortilla and spoon an equal amount of the filling mixture onto the center of each. Roll each tortilla tightly to encase the filling securely.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet to prevent them from unrolling during cooking.
- Oil the Taquitos: Lightly spray or brush each taquito with cooking spray or oil to promote crispiness and golden color.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
- Serve: Remove the baked taquitos from the oven once they are crispy and golden. Serve warm with additional Thousand Island dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the sauerkraut thoroughly to avoid soggy taquitos.
- Both corn and flour tortillas can be used depending on your preference.
- Flipping the taquitos halfway through baking helps achieve an evenly crispy texture on all sides.
