Southwestern Appetizer Triangles

Southwestern Appetizer Triangles
A nifty cross between egg rolls 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 holiday celebrations. —Shelia Pope, Preston, Idaho
