Method

1. 01
   Prepare the falafel by combining soaked chickpeas, onion, parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, baking powder, and flour in a food processor. Process until a coarse mixture forms.
2. 02
   Shape the processed falafel mixture into small balls or patties using your hands.
3. 03
   Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel balls until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. 04
   For the tzatziki sauce, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and dill in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
5. 05
   Warm the flatbreads or wraps on a dry skillet or in the oven until pliable.
6. 06
   To assemble the wraps, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each flatbread.
7. 07
   Place a few falafel balls in the center of each wrap, then top with mixed lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
8. 08
   Fold the sides of the flatbread over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
9. 09
   Serve the wraps immediately, or wrap them in foil for a portable meal.
