Experience a burst of flavors with our Tortilla Samosas recipe, a delightful fusion of Indian and Mexican cuisines. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps, you can create a mouthwatering snack that will tantalize your taste buds and impress your guests.
To begin, gather the necessary ingredients: flour tortillas, potatoes, peas, onions, garlic, ginger, spices (such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala), oil, and cilantro for garnish. Start by preparing the samosa filling by boiling and mashing the potatoes. In a separate pan, sauté the onions, garlic, and ginger until fragrant. Add the spices and cook for a few minutes before adding the mashed potatoes and peas. Mix well and let the filling cool.
Next, cut the flour tortillas into triangular shapes. Place a spoonful of the filling onto each tortilla and fold them into samosa shapes, sealing the edges with water. Heat oil in a pan and fry the samosas until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel.
