CORNED BEEF REUBEN TACOS
Aside from the fact that this combines two of my absolute favorite guilty pleasure foods, this is a hella-effective leftover recipe. Simply dice the leftover corned beef you have in your fridge, layer it with freshly grated swiss and sauerkraut, and heat it in a pan. A complete reinvention of that leftover corned beef from start to finish in 15 minutes!

Steps:
- In small bowl, mix together mayo and dill until well combined. Again, place in fridge if making ahead.
- Heat a large frying pan (affiliate) over medium heat. Grease with a 1 tbsp of butter, spreading it around the pan for even coverage. Meanwhile, set oven to a high broil and move the rack to the second slot from the top.
- To assemble the taco, first spoon a small 1/2 tbsp of dill mayo into the middle and lightly spread it around with the backside of the spoon. Place the taco in the frying pan (affiliate) so that the mayo side faces up. You can do multiple tacos at once, so long as each can lay fully flat in the pan.
- On top of the mayo, spread a small pinch of swiss cheese, being careful not to drop/waste any in the hot pan. Next, grab a healthy pinch of corned beef and lay it on top of the cheese. Top with sauerkraut and another small pinch of swiss cheese. Saute for about 3 minutes, or until the bottom of the taco begins to lightly brown. Remove each tortilla to a baking pan.
- When your baking pan is full, place it under the broiler in the your oven and watch carefully. Cook until cheese has melted and outside of tortilla barely begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
