Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
• 0.5 cup Corn (frozen or canned, drained)
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 0.75 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 piece Jalapeño (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add water (about 0.5 cup), kneading until a firm but pliable dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeño, cilantro, cumin powder, chili powder, and garlic powder.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 7

Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a tiny dab of water.

Step 8

Fill the cone with 1-2 teaspoons of the Tex-Mex filling, being careful not to overfill.

Step 9

Seal the open end of the cone by pinching the edges together firmly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 10

Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 11

Fry the samosas in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

Step 12

Serve hot with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauce.
