A little nostalgia, a little protein 💛 These cheese samosas are my macro-friendly twist on my mom’s famous recipe — still crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor… just lighter and higher in protein (25g per serving!). Perfect for when you want comfort food that still fits your goals 💪

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prepare Mixture: Mix cheeses, peas, vegetables, jalapenos, salt & pepper to combine.
Make Paste: Mix white flour with a little bit of water to make a paste to glue the tortilla together.
Slice Tortillas in half
Fold into a cone shape in one hand
Spread the paste on the folded side and push down so that it begins to stick
As you are holding the tortilla like a cone, fill with filling and push down so that you get enough filling in.
Then fold over to close, add paste to one side to close and form a sealed triangle.
Spray samosas with oil spray. Add to air fryer at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Flip halfway through and adjust time as needed.
