Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup salsa

How to Make Falafel Wraps with Fresh Veggies

  1. Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms.
  2. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Form the chickpea mixture into small balls or patties.
  3. Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. Assemble the wraps: place a few falafel balls on each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cucumber slices, parsley, and a generous spoonful of salsa.
  6. Wrap tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the chickpeas are well-soaked to achieve a good texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying; this helps the falafel cook evenly.
  • Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature; it should be around 350°F for frying.
  • If you prefer baking, place the formed falafel on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Easy Variations

  • Spicy Kick: Add chopped jalapeños to the falafel mixture for heat.
  • Herbed Up: Mix in fresh herbs like mint or cilantro for added flavor.
  • Different Wraps: Use pita bread or lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
  • Sauce Swaps: Try tzatziki or hummus instead of salsa for a different taste.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of crispy sweet potato fries for a satisfying crunch.
  • A refreshing cucumber salad to balance the flavors.
  • Extra salsa or a yogurt-based sauce for dipping.
  • A light soup, such as tomato basil, to complement the wraps.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover falafel in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through. Assemble wraps fresh to maintain the best texture.
