Chilaquiles

Easy Beer Battered Fish Sandwich
This is the fried fish sandwich you'll actually make at home. Yes, it involves frying and homemade tartar sauce, but the whole thing is so easy can be made in about 20 minutes. The result is something that tastes like it took a whole lot longer than that.

The reuben is such a colossal treat of a sandwich. It’s packed with flavor and really hits on all levels when it’s made well.

I mean it when I say (at the time of writing this sentence) that the smash burger is the best burger you can make at home.
