Reuben Pinwheels
These Reuben Pinwheels turn the classic deli sandwich into an easy, no-bake appetizer made with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and creamy dressing rolled in soft tortillas. Perfect for parties, game day, potlucks, and make-ahead snacks.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
- 6 oz corned beef finely chopped
- 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded or finely chopped
- ¾ cup sauerkraut very well drained and patted dry
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper optional
Instructions
- Thoroughly drain sauerkraut and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, stir softened cream cheese and dressing until smooth.
- Mix in corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and black pepper if using.
- Spread mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll tortillas tightly into logs.
- Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Unwrap and slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.
- Serve chilled or slightly cool.
Notes
- Chilling is essential for clean slices—don’t skip it.
- For extra neat pinwheels, wipe the knife clean between cuts.
- These are best served the same day, but can be made ahead.
