Mini Falafel Wraps (Printable Version)

Soft falafel balls hugged by warm pita along with crunchy veggies and creamy tahini for a tasty and filling bite.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Herbs and Legumes

01 - 2 garlic cloves
02 - 1 can (425 g) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
03 - 120 ml fresh parsley

→ Flour and Spices

04 - 24 grams chickpea flour or all-purpose flour if gluten isn’t an issue
05 - 1 teaspoon cumin powder

→ Veggies and Bread

06 - 240 ml mix of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers
07 - 4 whole wheat pita pockets

→ Sauce

08 - 60 ml tahini dressing

# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Use paper towels to soak up all the water after rinsing chickpeas so they’re nice and dry.
02 - Throw chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food chopper. Pulse until you get a chunky blend.
03 - Add your flour to the mix and stir well so it all sticks together.
04 - Roll the mixture into even balls or patties to cook them evenly.
05 - Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the falafel about 4 minutes on each side until they’re golden and crispy.
06 - Warm up the pita bread a bit, then stuff it with falafel, veggies, and a drizzle of tahini before digging in.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Want a lighter version? Bake falafel at 190°C for 20 minutes instead of frying.
02 - Add a splash of fresh lemon juice to tahini to make it taste even better.
03 - Switch up the veggies to whatever you like for more flavor variety.
