Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of cubed corned beef from a previous meal
- 1/2 can (14.5 ounces) of sauerkraut, nicely drained
- A hint of caraway seed, around 1/2 teaspoon
- 4 cups of crispy tortilla chips
- A generous 1/2 cup of Thousand Island dressing
- Approximately 6 ounces of shredded Swiss cheese
Step 1
Begin by heating a large skillet on medium-high heat to get it nice and warm. Once heated, add the corned beef and let it cook until it becomes wonderfully crisp all around, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the drained sauerkraut with the aromatic caraway seeds, giving it a good stir to blend the flavors beautifully.
Step 3
Now, adjust the oven rack so that it sits around 6 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler to a high setting for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 4
Take an oven-proof skillet and start layering your ingredients to create a delicious masterpiece. Begin with half of the chips at the bottom, followed by half of the corned beef and sauerkraut mixture. Drizzle a generous portion of Thousand Island dressing over the corned beef and finish off with a layer of Swiss cheese. Repeat these layers once more to build up those wonderful flavors.
Step 5
Slide the skillet into the preheated oven and broil it until the Swiss cheese has melted into a gooey, golden perfection, typically around 5 minutes. Enjoy the delightful outcome of your efforts!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your corned beef fresh by storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Be sure to separate any sauerkraut or pickles to maintain their crunchy texture.
- 2. For the perfect melted cheese, store your Swiss cheese in the dairy drawer of your refrigerator. It will be easy to grate and sprinkle on top of your nachos when you're ready to bake them.
