Homemade samosa wraps are filled with spiced potatoes, sweet peas, protein-packed tofu, warm spices and fresh jalapeños all rolled into a soft, whole grain tortilla. They’re a copycat version of Amy’s Indian Samosa Wrap, but are even tastier than the store bought version! Easy to make, vegan, can be made gluten-free, and totally delicious!

One of my favorite Indian snacks of all time is samosas. They’re the perfect combination of crispy, flaky, spicy and sweet – with the lightly fried samosa pastry crust just topping it off. They’re super addicting and very delicious.

But, they’re not exactly healthy.

Which is why I decided to remake samosas into these healthy samosa wraps!

This copycat Amy’s Indian Samosa Wrap recipe uses all of the great flavors of delicious samosas, but repackages the “crust” and “filling” with good-for-you-but-still-tasty ingredients. It’s basically like an Indian burrito!

Make these for a healthy lunch on the go, or for a light and easy dinner. These vegan samosa wraps also make great leftovers and can be thrown together ahead of time – so they are perfect for meal prep.

There is no wrong occasion to munch on these wraps because they are much healthier than traditional samosas, thanks to a considerable amount of fiber and protein. It’s a meal you can feel good about that tastes terrific too!

🥘 Ingredients

This Amy’s Indian Samosa Wrap copycat has very similar ingredients to the store bought version including: organic ginger, organic jalapeño peppers, organic onions, organic peas, organic potatoes, organic tomatoes, organic tofu, and organic whole wheat flour from the wrap! See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts and nutritional information.

• Potatoes, Onions, Green Peas and Tomatoes: This is the base of a traditional samosa filling, so this samosa burrito wouldn’t be complete without these ingredients!
• Tofu: I recommend extra firm tofu for texture and added protein.
• Spices: Spice powders like curry powder, ground coriander, sea salt, ground cumin and cayenne mimic the flavors of the traditional samosa filling when paired with fresh spices like fresh ginger and jalapenos.
• Whole Wheat Tortillas: Because you can’t have this recipe for samosa wraps without an actual wrap to put the filling in! I like using soft-baked wheat tortilla wraps for added whole grains and fiber.
• Cashews: I like the crunch and texture chopped cashews adds to this recipe.
• Sweet Tamarind Chutney: You can find this at the Indian Grocery Store or in the International section of your local grocery store. It’s a sweet and spicy chutney that is used as a dipping sauce for traditional samosas. You can also use tamarind date chutney. We use it as a sauce to drizzle over the filling in the wrap.
• Lemon Juice: For a hit of acidity to finish off this Amy’s samosa wrap copycat.

📖 Variations

• Different Toppings: Instead of cashews and tarmarind chutney, try ketchup, mango chutney, Indian pickle, a little bit of vegan butter, mint chutney, spicy mayo or aioli, vegan cheese, chopped peanuts or chopped cilantro.
• Try A Different Wrap: Instead of a whole wheat tortilla, you can use whole wheat or garlic naan, whole wheat pita, or gluten-free tortillas to make these gluten-free. You can also make these into a samosa “bowl” and serve it with brown rice or quinoa – omitting the wrap altogether!
• Use A Different Protein: Instead of tofu, try chickpeas, white beans, or even mashed lentils spiced with a bit of curry powder.
• Make It Kid Friendly: Most kids love to eat anything that is wrapped, and I usually tell my kids that it’s an Indian burrito and they gobble it up. I do recommend a few modifications for kids: 1) Cut back on or omit the jalapeno and cayenne – that is typically too spicy for kids. 2) Cut the tofu and potatoes small so it’s easy for kids to bite into. 3) Wrap the tortillas super tight and cut the entire wrap into fourths so it’s easy for little hands to hold.

🔪 How To Make Samosa Wraps

Prep Tofu, Saute Veggies: Squeeze tofu lightly to remove as much water as possible. Cut into small cubes. Cut the potatoes into small cubes as well (I like making the tofu cubes and the potato cubes the same size). Heat a large non stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and onion. Cook until onion begins to become translucent. Add peas, tomato, ginger, jalapeno pepper. Cook, stirring, until peas thaw.

Cook Potatoes & Tofu: Add potatoes and tofu to skillet along with 1/2 cup water, salt, curry powder, coriander, cumin, cayenne (optional). Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer the savory filling for about 15 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Note: the smaller the potato cubes are, the faster they will cook!

Finish Filling: Remove cover and cook the potato filling until most of the liquid has evaporated, and the potatoes are fork-tender. Add lemon juice and stir to combine.

Prep Wrap: Warm tortillas or naan according to package directions. Place 1/6 of the tofu potato pea filling in the center of these spicy samosa wraps.

Add Toppings: Top with 1 Tbsp cashews and a drizzle of the Tamarind Chutney.

Wrap Tortilla: Fold the sides in first to wrap.

Finish Wrap: Roll it like a burrito, place seam side down on a cutting board.

Serve: Cut this Indian samosa wrap in half, and enjoy!

💭 Expert Tips

• For best results, make sure to remove as much liquid as you can out of the tofu. I usually press it for 10-15 minutes beforehand so that it’s not watery and holds together well.
• Cut the potatoes small: The smaller you cut the potatoes, the faster they will cook. I recommend cutting them in the same size as the tofu cubes.
• Adjust the spices in this Indian potato burrito to suit your preferences. If you are sensitive to hot spices, cut back on the cayenne and jalapeno!
• Wrap the tortilla tightly so that the ingredients don’t fall out while you’re eating it!
• For meal prep: If you’re short on time, make the filling ahead of time and make this spiced potato chickpea burrito the day you plan to serve them.
• Make for a crowd: This perfect samosa wraps recipe is fabulous for a crowd. Each recipe will produce 6 wraps, so you will need to multiply that by however many people you are feeding. If you’re making this in bulk, I recommend wrapping the burritos in plastic wrap and storing on a baking sheet until you’re ready to serve them.
