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
