Trisadilla

Make these Hand-Held Triangular Pockets stuffed with Meat, Sauce, and Cheese for your next Taco Tuesday. Serve them with a dipping sauce on the side. They are just too good!

What is a Trisadilla

Trisadilla is all in the Fold to create that triangular shape. It is the same as a Quesadilla except the tortilla is cut in half, stuffed, and folded into a triangle much like a samosa. Serve them Single for an appetizer or snack, in Triplets for a lunch, or in Six-pieces for a meal.

Trisadilla Components

You can make a wide variety of Trisadillas, but they all come down to some key ingredients. Flour Tortilla, Meat Filling, Sauce/s, and Cheese.

Tortilla

Use a 10-inch or 12-inch Flour Tortilla toasted a bit in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned. Use Storebought or homemade tortillas. Once heated through and browned a bit, set them aside on a plate or waxed paper.

Meat Filling

You can practically stuff these with anything. The recipe below uses Taco Seasoned Ground Beef cooked in a way to yield Taco Bell style meat. But other variations are listed below.

Sauces

I generally go with Salsa & Sour Cream. Although a whole host of sauces can go on and is really a matter of preferences. Use Red Taco Sauce, Cilantro Sauce, Guacamole, Hot Sauce, Nacho Cheese. It’s really up to you to create a wide variation of the Trisadilla.

Cheese

Load it up with Cheese. Use Tex Mex Cheese, Three Cheese Blend, (Mozaa, Cheddar, and Monterey Jack), Marble Cheese, or whatever else your belly might desire.

How to fold Trisadillas

First Fry up the tortilla a bit to warm through and lightly brown. Then slice the Tortillas in half for each Trisadilla.

Step 1

With 1 half of a 10-inch or 12-inch tortilla sliced in half, place a couple of spoonfuls of cooked Taco Seasoned Ground Beef.

Step 2

Sprinkle on a bit of a three-cheese blend.

Step 3

Spoon on Salsa.

Step 4

Spoon on Sour Cream. Add in any vegetables if desired like Lettuce, diced Onions & Tomatoes.

Step 4

Fold over one-third of the way and flatten a bit.

Step 4

Fold over again to create the Triangular shape. You can also add a bit of cheese between the first and second fold.

How to Cook Trisadilla

Heat a skillet up over medium heat for a few minutes until warm. Then place the Trisadilla in seal side down. Cook for about 25 – 30 seconds and flip to cook the other side until golden brown and crisp.

You can also cook these in a Panini Grill or a double-sided Grill for a few seconds or Brush them with oil and bake them at 350 F until crunchy to your liking.

Trisadilla Dipping Sauces

Depending on the type of Trisadilla, serve them with the appropriate Dipping sauce on the side. Use common dipping sauces for Tacos with Taco Trisadillas or common dipping sauces for Pizza with Pizza Trisadillas.

There are so many ways to make a Trisadilla and these are really good too, so I will be making a few variations of these and posting them here. Be sure to check back for different versions.
