Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (or you can use Boca burgers to make this vegetarian)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup picante sauce (or salsa)
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove minced)
1 (500 g) package empanada wrappers (or samosa or won ton, about 50 sheets or wrappers)
1 egg, beaten
oil (for frying)

Directions

1

Cook ground beef.
2

Add onion and peppers and cook awhile longer. Stir in picante sauce, potato chips, taco seasoning, cheese and garlic. Cook until heated through.
3

Let mixture cool slightly.
4

Using one sheet of the wrappers at a time, make a pocket (you will wrap these like you used to fold the American flag when you were a Girl Scout) and spoon in some filling (about a teaspoon). Begin folding in triangles along the length of the wrapper. Before the final fold, brush the egg on the last flap to help seal things.
5

Heat oil and fry sambosas until lightly brown.
6

(If you have a deep fryer, you can fry these up faster and easier.)
7

Serve hot.

(This recipe makes a LOT of filling.).
