SOUTHWESTERN APPETIZER TRIANGLES

Southwestern Appetizer Triangles image

A clever cross between wontons and tacos, these triangles are fun to serve, especially at the holidays. My mom created the recipe years ago, much to the delight of my family. Since I began making them, my husband insists we have them on Sundays during football season, as well as for special occasions. -Sheila Pope, Preston, Idaho

I'm allergic to cream cheese. Is there a substitute I can use?

These triangles are way too expensive to make. I think I'll find a different recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my triangles didn't turn out very well. They were kind of dry and crumbly.

These triangles were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

These triangles are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I often make them with leftover chicken or beef.

I love that these triangles are so easy to customize. I've added different cheeses, meats, and vegetables to them and they've always turned out great.
