Ingredients

• Chickpeas (canned) - 400 grams, drained and rinsed
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 30 grams, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• All-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - for frying
• Whole wheat tortillas - 2 large
• Lettuce - 1 cup, shredded
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cucumber - 1 small, diced
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, baking powder, and flour. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky.
2. Form the chickpea mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.
3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the falafels for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Adjust with more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
5. To assemble the wraps, place a few falafels in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and cucumber.
6. Drizzle with tahini sauce and wrap tightly. Serve immediately.
