Jessica confessed that her favorite sandwich is a Reuben.

When she was thinking of a delicious game day appetizer to cook up, she realized that people usually want options that are familiar and easy to eat.

You need two hands to eat a Reuben and they can get sloppy, so Jessica decided she wanted to give the classic sandwich a little spin.

Her Reuben quesadilla with a side of spicy thousand island dressing has all the ingredients that you know and love from the sandwich but the quesadilla is super easy to eat.

“My new favorite way to have my favorite sandwich,” Jessica pronounced.
