Instructions
- 1
For the Falafel: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, red onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Pulse until well combined but still a bit chunky – you don't want a smooth paste. Add the flour and pulse again until just incorporated.
- 2
Form the Falafel: Roll the mixture into 12-16 small patties or balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour. If too dry, add a tiny bit of water.
- 3
Cook the Falafel: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the falafel patties in batches for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Tahini Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly, until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. It should be thick but drizzle-able.
- 5
Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas or pita breads according to package directions. Spread a generous amount of tahini drizzle on each tortilla/pita.

Fill and Serve: Layer with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, and 3-4 falafel patties. Add pickled red onions if desired. Fold or roll up the wraps and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious homemade Mediterranean feast!
Pro Tips
This recipe packs 18g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
High in fiber at 12g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Use high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs for the most authentic flavor. Dried herbs work in a pinch but fresh makes a noticeable difference.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
