Servings: 4

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
All-purpose flour: 1/4 cup
Vegetable oil: for frying
Tortilla wraps: 4 large
Lettuce: 1 cup, shredded
Tomato: 1 medium, sliced
Cucumber: 1 small, sliced
Tahini sauce: 1/2 cup

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.
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
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.
