Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons flour (all-purpose or chickpea flour)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 4 large tortillas
• 1 cup lettuce, shredded
• 1 cup tomato salsa
• 1/2 cup tahini sauce (optional)

How to Make Falafel Wraps

1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.
2. Add the flour to the mixture and pulse again until just combined. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help the mixture firm up.
3. While the mixture chills, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Once the oil is hot, use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small balls or patties from the falafel mixture. Carefully place them in the skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
6. To assemble, place a few falafel balls in the center of each tortilla, top with shredded lettuce and a generous spoonful of tomato salsa. Drizzle with tahini sauce if using.
7. Wrap the tortillas tightly around the filling, then slice in half and serve immediately.

For crispy falafel, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour to help bind it. Also, don’t overcrowd the pan when frying, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy falafel.

Easy Variations

• Add diced cucumbers or bell peppers for extra crunch.
• Swap the tahini sauce for a yogurt-based sauce or guacamole.
• Try different herbs like cilantro or mint for a unique flavor.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added nutrition.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
• Homemade hummus and pita chips
• Roasted vegetables for a warm accompaniment
• A simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover falafel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through. The wraps can be made in advance but are best served fresh.
