- 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.
Tips
- For a spicy kick, add a drizzle of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños to the wrap.
- To enhance the flavor of the tahini sauce, mix in a bit of lemon juice and minced garlic.
- Feel free to customize the veggies; shredded carrots or bell peppers are great additions!
