These would be such a party hit! I love the idea of gochujang in the russian dressing

I put gochujang in everything that needs a bit of heat these days—adds so much flavor.

OK. I totally appreciate this because I agree, it's always too much meat. 1/4 pound is absolutely enough. What a perfect upgrade to a sandwich that usually makes my tummy hurt (but is also special) haha.

Also, just need to share what a monster I am and my Jewish deli sandwich order is corned beef on rye with JUST lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle (and no sauces at all). I would fully quesadilla-fy that but without mayo because mayo scares me. But adding the horseradish, kraut, ketchup, swiss seems awesome. Now I'm blabbing. But thank you for the inspo. This is fun.

Lettuce, tomato, and pickle is my go-to for everything except a Ruben :)

That Russian dressing plus sauerkraut combo always hits. I bet this would also work with good smoked turkey or mushrooms instead of pastrami (we are pretty low-beef these days.)

I was just contemplating a mushroom version—though one of the great things about the quesadilla situation is that it’s very little meat per serving (we’ve also cut way back).

Excited for all of this but esp the Russian dressing recipe portion.
