Print Recipe

Delicious Middle Eastern falafel wraps made with crispy chickpea patties, fresh vegetables, and creamy tahini sauce, all wrapped in soft flatbread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dried chickpeas (soaked overnight)
  • 1/2 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp flour (optional, for binding)
  • Oil for frying
  • 4 large flatbreads or pita
  • 1 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onions
  • 1/2 cup tahini sauce or hummus

Instructions

  1. Soak chickpeas in water overnight, then drain and rinse.
  2. In a food processor, combine soaked chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and salt. Pulse until mixture is coarse but holds together when squeezed.
  3. Add baking soda and optional flour. Mix well and chill for 30 minutes.
  4. Form the mixture into small balls or patties.
  5. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry falafel until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Warm the flatbreads or pita.
  7. Spread tahini sauce or hummus on the bread, add lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onions, and falafel.
  8. Wrap tightly and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can bake or air-fry falafel for a healthier version.
  • Add pickles or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • Use canned chickpeas only if you’re baking, as they can fall apart when fried.
