Reuben Sandwich Pinwheel Appetizer 🥪✨

These delightful Reuben Sandwich Pinwheels celebrate the classic flavors of the traditional Reuben sandwich in a fun, bite-sized version! Perfect for game day, parties, or casual gatherings, these pinwheels are easy to assemble and bursting with flavor. The combination of corned beef, Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and rich dressing, all wrapped in a tortilla, makes for a crowd-pleasing treat! 🌟

Ingredients

For the pinwheels

• 4 large flour tortillas (or rye tortillas for a traditional touch)
• 8 ounces deli sliced corned beef
• 8 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
• 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
• 1/2 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For serving

• Extra dressing for dipping (optional)
• Pickles or pickle spears (optional)

Instructions

• Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface.

• Spread a layer of Russian or Thousand Island dressing evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

• On top of the dressing, layer the corned beef first, followed by Swiss cheese, and then evenly distribute the sauerkraut across the tortillas.

🥄 Make sure the sauerkraut is well-drained to avoid soggy pinwheels! A little moisture is okay, but excess liquid can make the tortillas hard to roll.

• Starting from one end, carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.

• Once rolled, slice each log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter.

🍽️ You can serve them as-is, or place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape better before slicing.

Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the filling for a spicy twist! 🌶️
• Vegetarian Version: Swap the corned beef for slices of roasted red pepper or grilled mushrooms, and use a plant-based cheese for a delicious vegetarian option. 🌱
• Herbed Up: Mix some dill into the dressing or sprinkle fresh dill over the filling before rolling for an extra flavor boost. 🌿
• Wrap Upgrade: Try using spinach or tomato-flavored wraps to add a pop of color and additional nutrients to the appetizer!

Enjoy these Reuben Sandwich Pinwheel Appetizers as a tantalizing treat at your next gathering! They're sure to be devoured in no time! 🎉🥳
