Enjoy the delightful crunch and flavor of falafel wraps, a popular Middle Eastern dish made from crispy chickpea patties. Wrapped in warm pita bread and filled with fresh vegetables and sauces, these wraps are a delicious and healthy option for lunch or dinner.

How to Make Falafel Wraps

1. Ingredients:
   • 1 cup dried chickpeas (soaked overnight)
   • 1 small onion, chopped
   • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
   • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
   • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
   • 1 tsp ground cumin
   • 1 tsp ground coriander
   • 1/2 tsp baking powder
   • Salt and pepper to taste
   • Oil for frying
   • Pita bread or wraps
   • Fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers)
   • Tahini sauce or yogurt sauce for serving
2. Prepare the Falafel Mixture:
   • In a food processor, combine soaked chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms, but do not over-process.
3. Shape the Falafel:
   • With wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls or patties. Place them on a plate.
4. Fry the Falafel:
   • Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5. Assemble the Wraps:
   • Warm the pita bread or wraps. Place a few falafel in the center, add fresh vegetables, and drizzle with tahini or yogurt sauce.
6. Serve:
   • Roll or fold the wrap to enclose the filling. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
