No Rye Reuben Wraps

The Reuben sandwich recipe strikes a perfect balance of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing—an American deli staple.  Normally served on rye bread and somewhat messy to eat (though that may be part of its charm), we took the bread away and made a less mess wrap with a delicious spinach tortilla!  Trust us, you will not miss the rye bread.  And as someone who is not the fondest of rye bread (I hate caraway seed with a passion, just the smell turns me off.), I love this version.  Enjoy with leftover corned beef, or get some deli meat and make it for a hearty lunch with some chips and a dill pickle, or for dinner with a nice side salad.  I will also have a Guinness, but that is optional…

Yields: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS
2 large spinach tortilla
1/3 cup Thousand Island dressing
3/4 pound corned beef
10-12 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup sauerkraut – well drained

DIRECTIONS
1.   Preheat your oven to 350° F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set to the side.

2. Place a spinach tortilla on a clean and flat surface.  Spread half of the the thousand island dressing on top of each tortilla, leaving about a 1/2 inch border all the way around the edge.

3.  Layer the corned beef on top of the dressing, followed by the cheese, using 5-6 slices of cheese per wrap.

4.   Add the drained sauerkraut on top of the cheese.

5.   Gently roll each tortilla up, and place them seams down on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

6.   Bake for 8-10 minutes to make sure the cheese is melted.  Cover loosely with foil if the tortillas start to brown before the time is up.

7.   Remove from the oven and wait 2 or 3 minutes before cutting in half.  This allows the juices from the meat to stop running, and for the cheese to set up a bit so it doesn’t ooze all over when it is cut.

8.   ENJOY!!  These are REALLY GOOD!!

Lucky Pot of Gold Oreo Truffles

Yields: 1 dozen

INGREDIENTS
24 Double Stuf Oreos
8 oz brick of cream cheese – softened to room temperature
12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Wilton gold sugar pearls
3 strips of Airheads Xtremes Sour Rainbow Candy – chilled to make them stiff

DIRECTIONS
1.   Line a large baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and set to the side.

2.   Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor, and pulse until they are in very small crumbs.

3.   In a medium mixing bowl, add the Oreo crumbs and the softened cream cheese together. Mix with a spatula until completely blended.

4.   Cover the bowl and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.

5.   Shape the Oreo mixture into one inch balls and place them on the lined baking sheet.

6.   In a double boiler, warm the semi-sweet chocolate chips over low medium heat. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.

7.   Pour the melted dark chocolate into a warmed (in the microwave) smaller bowl for easier dipping.

8.   Using a toothpick, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, and place it back on the baking sheet. Set aside the remaining melted chocolate for later use.

9.   Chill for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

10.  Cut each chilled rainbow candy strip into 4 pieces and set aside (12 total).

11.   Remove the Oreo truffles from the refrigerator and flip each truffle upside down.

12.   Reheat the leftover chocolate from Step 8 and spread a thin layer on the top of a truffle. Gently press the end of a rainbow piece into the melted chocolate and hold for 10 seconds.  Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate with the gold sugar balls.

13.   Place back on the baking sheet to allow the chocolate to harden.  Repeat until all of the truffles have a rainbow and a pot of gold.

14.   ENJOY!!  Store covered and refrigerated up to 5 days.
