Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the herb mixture. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute olive oil for the oleo. You can also use different herbs based on your preference, such as oregano or thyme. For a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne. Ensure the tortillas are fresh for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these herb triangles warm with a side of marinara or a garlic aioli for dipping. They make a fantastic appetizer for gatherings and pair well with a fresh salad or a bowl of soup. For a delightful treat, complement them with a dessert like Pure And Simple Vanilla Ice Cream after your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover herb triangles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To maintain their crispiness, reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the tortillas chewy instead of crispy. Enjoy them as a quick snack or appetizer!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat tortillas instead of flour tortillas?
Absolutely! Whole wheat tortillas will add a nuttier flavor and extra fiber. Just ensure that they are soft and pliable to avoid cracking when cutting into wedges. The baking time may be similar, but keep an eye on them to achieve the desired crispiness.
How can I make these herb triangles more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, consider marinating the tortillas in the herb mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or freshly grated lemon zest to the herb blend for an extra layer of taste. Fresh herbs can also elevate the dish significantly.
Can I prepare these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the herb mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also brush the tortillas with the mixture and cut them into wedges a few hours before baking. Just cover them tightly to prevent drying out until you're ready to bake.
