I asked you guys a few weeks ago on Instagram about whether you wanted to see a recipe on Samosa Taquitos or French Onion Pasta. The poll was pretty close but Samosa Taquitos won! I’ve been formulating this concoction in my mind for a while and I didn’t even get to make a trial version before I set out to make the recipe over the weekend for my post. But I thought, samosas in taquito form can’t really go wrong, right?

If you ask anyone, samosas are something that I can eat on a daily basis. We actually make them quite frequently in my house, and it’s super fun and a way for my mom and I to bond. But I really wanted to switch it up and make them in corn tortillas, and add some cheesy goodness to the filling.

Even though this recipe will take you 40-45 minutes, it is mainly cooking/baking process. There is very little work involved besides mashing everything up and filling each tortilla with the samosa mixture. I think this is seasoned to perfection so PLEASE don’t omit any ingredients, especially the Garam Masala. The one in my house is straight up from India so I didn’t take a picture of the brand I use, but there are several brands in you can buy from the grocery store, such as McCormick and Simply Organic.

I think this is a great alternative to regular samosas since they are a CLASSIC appetizer at parties. Instead, these Samosa Taquitos are cuter and actually easier to eat than a regular samosa… not to mention that your guests will definitely be impressed!

Hope you guys enjoy this recipe and be sure to tag me in any pictures you may take on Instagram! Thanks so much and ENJOY!!
