Ingredients
- Chickpeas (1 can (15 ounces), drained and rinsed)
- Red onion (1 small, finely chopped)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, finely chopped)
- Ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
- Ground coriander (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
- Baking powder (1 teaspoon)

Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, red onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the all-purpose flour. Mix until the mixture holds together.

- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel balls until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel.
- Warm the tortilla wraps in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- Spread a spoonful of tahini sauce onto each tortilla wrap.
- Place a few falafel balls onto each wrap, followed by the shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.
