Falafel Wrap (Packed with Flavor & Protein)

In a large bowl, soak the dried chickpeas in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. Note they will double in size so ensure there is room in the bowl
Drain the soaked chickpeas and rinse well under cold water. Place in a food processor and pulse a few times so the chickpeas are chopped up a little
Roughly chop the herbs and add them to the food processor along with the garlic clove, flour, cumin, baking powder and water, then season well with salt and pepper
Pulse the ingredients together until they are all well combined and finely chopped. Don't over blend so you still have some texture
Using wet hands, spoon a heaped tablespoon of the mixture in your hands and shape into balls. You should have 12-16 falafel balls, depending on the size
*If the mixture feels too crumbly, add an extra spoon of water. If it feels too wet, add a spoon of flour
Place the shaped falafel balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Put the tray in the fridge and allow them to set for 30-60 minutes
Heat up your preferred oil in a small pot over medium - high heat. Fry the falafel balls in batches for 2-3 minutes until they're golden brown, then place on a plate on paper towels to soak excess oil. More information on my homemade falafel
Alternatively you can cook them with my air fryer recipe

To make the tahini dressing, add the tahini, lemon juice, salt and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl or ramekin. Using a whisk or fork, whisk until there are no clumps and to achieve a runny and thick consistency
*If its too thick, slowly add more cold water
Assemble the falafel wrap by placing the wrap on a piece of parchment paper and smearing a few spoons hummus across the middle of the wrap in a vertical line. Top with a layer of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and sumac onions or pickled onions
Top with 4 falafel balls, drizzle with the tahini dressing and roll it up like a burrito. Wrap with the parchment paper for easy clean up and enjoy your delicious jam packed falafel wrap!
