Southwestern Triscuit Bites Recipe

My household loves Triscuits. Honestly, we eat them as they are, but when you can add a few toppings like this recipe shows – why not?

I’ve made this for parties, football games, and even as an after-school snack for the kids. They love grabbing one or two as they’re walking through the kitchen, and I love that they’re a hit. No food waste!

When I tell people how easy they are, they’re always shocked that they’re so good! We all seem to think that we need a complicated recipe to make yummy food, but that’s not always the case!

There’s nothing quite like reaching for a tray of goodies with friends and family.
