- Handful of lettuce
For the Tahini Sauce:
- 1/4 cup tahini

Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Make the Falafel Mixture
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, chopped parsley, garlic cloves, cumin, coriander, flour, salt, and pepper.
Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Don’t over-process; you want some texture in the falafel.
Step 2: Form Falafel Patties
Take spoonfuls of the falafel mixture and form them into small patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
Step 3: Fry Falafel
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Carefully place the falafel patties in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the falafel for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked falafel patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 4: Make Tahini Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, and salt. Start with 2 tablespoons of water and add more, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. It should be creamy and pourable.
Step 5: Assemble Wraps
Warm the tortillas slightly (optional).
Lay a tortilla flat and place a few falafel patties in the center.
Top with sliced cucumber, sliced tomato, diced red onion, and lettuce.
Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce.
Step 6: Wrap and Serve
Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the ends as you go.
Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for later.
