Instructions

Make the Falafel:
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, paprika, baking soda, flour, salt, and pepper. Pulse until slightly chunky. Chill for 10–15 minutes, then shape into small patties.

Cook Until Crispy:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry falafel patties for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Tzatziki:
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to use.

Assemble the Wraps:
Warm the flatbreads. Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki, then top with crispy falafel, greens, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions and radishes, and optional feta. Fold or roll to form a wrap. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make ahead: Store cooked falafel and tzatziki in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Use store-bought tzatziki to save time.

Great with hummus or tahini as a sauce alternative.

Gluten-free option: use gluten-free wraps and flour.
