By á-170456

Ingredients

• 4 fresh bratwurst - (1 lb)
• 1 bottle beer - (12 oz)
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 pound fresh sauerkraut rinsed, and fully drained
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 4 flour tortillas - (10" dia)
• 1/4 cup honey-Dijon mustard
• 4 slices smoked Swiss cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Place bratwurst and beer in medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let bratwurst cool in beer.

In 10-inch frying pan cook onion in oil over medium heat until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add sauerkraut, sugar, salt, and red pepper; mix well. Continue cooking for 5 minutes to blend flavors.

Place bratwurst in center of cooking grate. Grill 5 to 6 minutes or until browned and heated throughout, turning once halfway through grilling time. Split each in half lengthwise.

Place 1/4 of sauerkraut mixture down center of each tortilla. Place 2 bratwurst halves on top of filling. Spread 1 tablespoon mustard on bratwurst and top with a slice of cheese. Fold two sides of tortilla over cheese; fold remaining bottom and top halves of tortilla to close.

Place tortilla wraps flap-side down on grill; grill 3 to 4 minutes or until browned and heated through, turning once halfway through grilling time.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Wine Recommendation: A rich Muscat will cut through the spicy, vinegary filling and match the intensity of the cheese and sausage. Open wide for a mouthful of flavor power!

Beer Recommendation: A strongly malted pale lager will bow to the tangy sauerkraut and crown the bratwurst king of your taste buds.
