📖 Instructions

1. First, let's prep the chicken. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with fajita seasoning. Don't be shy with the seasoning—it's what gives these samosas their signature flavor. Mix well to ensure every piece of chicken is coated.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and cook the chicken until it's fully cooked and slightly browned. This usually takes about 7-10 minutes. Set the chicken aside to cool slightly.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. You want them to be soft but still have a little bite. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and mix everything together.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool completely. This is important because you don't want the hot filling to make the samosa wrappers soggy.
5. While the filling is cooling, prepare your workspace. Lay out the samosa wrappers on a flat surface. Have a small bowl of water nearby—you'll need this to seal the edges.
6. Take one samosa wrapper and brush the edges with water. Place a spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture in the center of the wrapper. Now, this is where it gets a little tricky, but don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. Fold the wrapper into a triangle shape, making sure to seal all the edges tightly. You want to avoid any gaps so the filling doesn't leak out during frying.
7. Repeat the folding process with the remaining wrappers and filling. If you find that the wrappers are tearing, try using a little less filling or being more gentle with the folding. Don't worry, you can always try again!
8. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the samosas into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
9. Fry the samosas for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. I usually fry them for an extra minute to make sure they are cooked.
10. Remove the samosas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
11. Serve your Fajita Chicken Samosas with your favorite dipping sauce. Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or even a spicy cilantro-lime crema all work perfectly. Enjoy this flavorful fusion snack!
