These Baked Tortilla Samosas are made with a Tortilla wrap, and it’s filled with the same classic samosa fillings and can be enjoyed as a snack or even as a main dish with your favorite dipping. Comfort food to the max!
Today I’m baking up something new: tortilla samosas!
I love eating samosas, except I can’t bring myself to deep-frying them. The major problem with deep-fried items is that not only do they take longer to prepare, but they also add unnecessary calories to your meal. I think every calorie counts when you are trying to lose weight! So I’m always looking for healthier ways to eat them. My Baked Samosa Muffin is a popular version of samosa without the crust, but if you are missing the crunchy crust, these Tortilla Samosa are the perfect substitute.
Making the traditional crust from scratch is more tedious, so substituting the crust with tortillas will save you so much time. I have used Engine 2 Brown Rice tortilla or La Tortilla factory’s teff wraps as my go-to gluten-free tortillas. This is a twist on the traditional samosa recipe. Then I bake it rather than fry it!
This recipe is a fun one to make together with your kids, but it’s also a great way to get them involved in the kitchen. We know how important it is to talk about healthy eating and show them how to prepare healthy meals that are still delicious.
Plus, you might learn something new about this cuisine as you bake these together for dinner tonight!
These baked tortilla samosas are also a great choice when you want to make something healthy but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. With crispy shells and a flavorful potato filling, these handheld snacks will make you feel like you’re eating an indulgent treat—but they’re actually good for you!

Baked Tortilla Samosas Recipe
To prepare this tortilla samosa recipe, I boiled potatoes, then saute them in onion, garlic, ginger, curry, and added peas. I then allowed the filling to cool before I stuffed them into tortillas shaped into cones and sealed with a gluten-free flour paste. For the paste, make a mixture of gluten-free flour and water.
How To Make Tortilla Samosa?
- Cut 1 tortilla in half down the center.
- Fold one-half tortilla towards the center apply the paste.
- Fold the other part and seal with the paste.
- Add filling and seal the open end with paste.
I then brush them with oil and bake them in the oven. So easy, and they crisp up so well, you couldn’t tell they weren’t made from scratch. They were so delicious they reminded me of my Jamaican Lentil Patties recipe.
Serving Instructions
I love serving these as an appetizer at parties, but they’re also a great snack any time of day! They’re great for casual entertaining, potluck, or just as a snack.
These samosas are deliciously served hot out of the oven. These baked samosas are crunchy and savory on the outside but soft and warm on the inside. Serve them with the sauce of your choice for dipping. Some of my favorites are:
- Mint chutney
- Guacamole dip
- Salsa
- Tamarind sauce
- Ketchup
- Chickpea avocado dip
- Pesto
You can serve them for tea parties or as appetizers with co*cktails. They are perfect for the upcoming Christmas holidays too!
Recipe Notes
- If your tortillas aren’t pliable enough, warm them up on each side one at a time in a dry skillet heated over medium-high heat.
- To seal the tortillas, make sure to apply a flour slurry. You can also use a cornstarch and milk mixture.
- The samosa filling is made with potatoes and peas, but you can use any vegetable you want to make this recipe your own!
- This baked tortilla samosa recipe is vegetarian, but if you want to add some protein, add some minced chicken or lamb.
- You can also use any beans you’d like in this recipe. I love using black beans, but any bean will work!
- Use sweet potato and make dessert samosas.
- When it comes to choosing what kind of tortillas to use, try to find the ones that have the least amount of sugar added. If you can’t find sugar-free tortillas, whole wheat is your next best option.
- If you don’t need them to be gluten-free, use any kind of tortilla you like.
- These tortilla samosas are a terrific way to reuse leftovers and avoid food waste. Fill your tortilla cones with just about any leftover meal (big parts should be coarsely diced) and continue with the procedure.

Samosas are a popular snack food that is typically made with dough and filled with anything from meat to potatoes or lentils. They’re often fried. The samosas are delicious as they are, but they’re even better dipped in spicy sauces.
