Southwest Pulled Pork Tortilla Triangles

Looking for a fun new idea for your game day party? These mini quesadilla style tortilla triangles are so easy to make and always a crowd pleaser! Don’t forget the Chipotle Avocado Ranch to dip.

By now, you should know that we adore Curly’s BBQ for meals with our busy schedule. Found in the refrigerated section, there are so many great options for easy meals. The pulled BBQ pork is perfect for sliders,  a brinner hash or Potato Slab Nachos. 

Heads up: lately, I’ve been finding $1 off coupons on the Curly’s package. Is there anything better than finding one of those gems? Better hurry and find them in your local grocery store in the refrigerated meat case section because this special coupon offer won’t last forever!

The sauceless pulled pork is fun to experiment with. We adore Southwest Eggrolls from restaurants and these are a twist on those. With fire roasted corn, black beans and the pulled pork, these can’t be beat– especially for a crowd! These are almost like mini quesadillas. 

Instead of a whole tortilla, you cut a fajita sized one in half. This creates fun little triangles ready for dipping. Even though we love corn tortillas, flour work best for this recipe.

After scooping the filling into the tortilla half, top with cheese then fold in half. Instead of butter, brushing the outside with an egg wash creates a super crispy crust. The tortilla will puff up almost like an egg roll wrapper. 

This dipping is our new go-to for nuggets, to drizzle on fish tacos and more. It is SO addicting. Great for a taco salad, too! If you can’t find the chipotle ranch packet, just substitute a regular one.

You can pan fry the triangles ahead of time and reheat in the oven or an air fryer at a later time. Just put in a baggie in the fridge until ready to cook again.

Have you tried the Curly’s sauceless pulled pork? I’d love more recipe ideas for it! I made a fab Brunswick Stew with it, also–it’s a smoky corn and tomato based stew. SO good.

This meal is great for your next game day party, but also fun for an appetizer for dinner night at home. We love to do those for our Saturday game nights!
