Total Time: 2 hrs Preparation Time: 1 hr 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

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)

Recipe

• 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.
• 8 (this recipe makes a lot of filling.).
