Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for tortilla triangles, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using flour tortillas, be sure to heat them up before cutting them into triangles so that they're easier to fold.
  • Use fresh limes: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the tortilla triangles. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't skimp on the chili powder: Chili powder is what gives the tortilla triangles their signature flavor. Be sure to use a good-quality chili powder that has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Season the tortilla triangles well: In addition to chili powder, you'll also want to season the tortilla triangles with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the other ingredients.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tortilla triangles: Tortilla triangles are best when they're cooked until they're crispy and golden brown. However, if you overcook them, they'll become tough and chewy.

Conclusion:

Chili lime tortilla triangles are a quick, easy, and delicious snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With their irresistible combination of flavors and textures, chili lime tortilla triangles are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
