Ingredients

8 flour tortillas
8 Tbsp. Thousand Island dressing
200 g (7oz) Gruyere cheese, grated
400 g (14oz) sauerkraut, drained
300 g (11oz) sliced pastrami, shredded
gherkins

Directions

1. Step 1
  Lay the flour tortillas on a board. Divide the dressing among them and spread evenly over each. Sprinkle half the cheese over four of the tortillas.
2. Step 2
  In a large frying pan over a medium heat, cook the sauerkraut for 2min until no moisture remains. Stir through pastrami and cook for 1min more.
3. Step 3
  Divide the sauerkraut mixture among the four cheese-topped tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the sauerkraut mixture. Close quesadillas with the four remaining tortillas (dressing side down).
4. Step 4
  Wipe pan clean, then return to medium heat. Put a quesadilla in the pan and heat through for 2min. With a spatula, flip the quesadilla and cook on the other side for 2min until golden and melted inside. Slide on to a board, then cover with foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve each cut into quarters, with gherkins.
