I had some trouble finding falafel mix, but I was able to make my own using a recipe I found online. The burgers turned out great!

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less chili powder.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more moisture to the chicken and falafel mixture next time.
