Step 1
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high with minced onion and half the chili, breaking up meat, ~5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then cool slightly.
Step 2
Lay one wrapper flat. Place 1 tbsp beef filling in the lower-left corner and fold into a triangle, sealing edges with a dab of water.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pan-fry triangles in batches, ~90 seconds per side, until golden and crispy.
Step 4
Toss cabbage with remaining minced chili and a pinch of salt. Serve sambusas hot with the cabbage slaw on the side.
