Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Middle Eastern-style flatbread or pitta
4-5 falafels (see recipe below)
4-5 slices avocado

Tips:

  • For the best falafel, use a food processor to grind the chickpeas until they are very fine. This will help the falafel to hold together better and give them a smoother texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also soak the chickpeas overnight and then mash them with a fork. However, the falafel may not be as smooth.
  • Add some fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or mint, to the falafel mixture for extra flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your falafel wraps. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and onions.
  • Don't forget the sauce! Tahini sauce is a classic choice for falafel wraps, but you can also use hummus, tzatziki, or your favorite dressing.
  • Falafel wraps can be served hot or cold. If you're serving them cold, be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil so they don't dry out.

Conclusion:

Falafel wraps are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give falafel wraps a try!
