Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
1 small onion chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup flour
to taste salt and pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
4 large wraps
1 cup mixed greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1/2 cup cucumber sliced

Tahini Sauce

1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic minced
to taste salt
2-4 tablespoons water to thin

Instructions

1 In a food processor, combine chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, flour, salt, and pepper. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky.
2 Transfer the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
3 While the falafel mixture is chilling, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.
4 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5 Form the falafel mixture into small balls or patties and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6 Remove falafel from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
7 To assemble the wrap, place a few falafel patties on each wrap, add mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers.
8 Drizzle with tahini sauce and wrap tightly. Serve immediately.
