Folks, I saw this online and I couldn’t resist! The video is self explanatory, but I’ll go ahead and outline the basics!
The TORTILLA TRIANGLE
Start with a largish soft tortilla, and make one cut with a knife or pizza cutter to the center of the tortilla.
Divide the space into four equal quadrants, and then place whatever ingredients you want in those four quadrants.
To fold, grab the left quarter or “quadrant” and fold up, then take that section and fold to the right, then finally fold all down over the last quarter.
Place in a hot frying pan (no oil needed), allow to warm and turn golden, then flip and repeat for the other side.
So here’s the main tip: Make sure the ingredients used are relatively flat. I sliced the chicken in the video crosswise into thin strips.
Place in a medium high heated pan, no oil necessary. The idea is to warm the ingredients inside, and allow the tortilla to turn a nice golden brown. It does not take long, just a minute or two.
We made Mexican style Tortilla Triangles. I started with seasoning the chicken with garlic, onion, and chili powders. I also made Spanish Rice and refried beans. Green chilies, black olives, cheeses, salsas, and sour cream were all added as well.
The options are endless when it comes to what you can create with a tortilla!
Here are some suggestions:
- spread Nutella and peanut butter, and add fresh fruit like sliced bananas and strawberries.
- Have a breakfast version with a sausage patty or bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese, and onions with peppers.
- Use thinly sliced steak, peppers and onions, jack cheese, and mayo for a Philly cheesesteak.
It was surprising how much we liked this trend! Have you tried it? Let me know!
The Tortilla Triangle (a Tik Tok trend)
Ingredients
- 6 large tortillas
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon, each garlic powder, chili pwder, onion powder, and paprika, also salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups prepared spanish rice*
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- 1 can refried beans**
- 1 can green chilies
- 1 can sliced black olives
- various salsas, and sour cream for dipping.
Instructions
- Begin by preparing spanish rice if using. This will take the longest to cook so I start this first.
- Cut chicken into thin or flat strips and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle garlic, chili, onion, and paprika over chicken and mix using tongs or wooden spoon.
- Place skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add chicken once pan is warmed up. Cook about 3-4 minutes, flip, cook additional 3 minutes.
- Gather all ingredients in one spot for easy distribution on tortillas.
- Place tortilla on cutting board or plate, and, using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, make one cut from the edge to the center.
- Visually dividing up the circular tortilla into four quarters, add desired ingredients to each quarter, keeping it flat.
- From the lower left quarter, fold up, then over to the right, then finally fold down completing the triangle(ish) shape.
- Place in skillet, no oil needed, and "fry" until crisy and golden brown on both sides.
- Dip into your favorite salsa, sour cream, or cheese dip if desired!
