🛒 Ingredients
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Prepare or buy pre‑made falafel balls; crumble them into a bowl and smash lightly with a fork.
- Warm a whole‑grain or gluten‑free wrap in a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side.
- Mix smashed falafel with a drizzle of tahini‑lemon sauce, then spread onto the warm wrap.
- Add fresh veggies like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumber, and a pinch of herbs.
- Roll the wrap tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately or pack for a quick lunch.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Slice the wrap diagonally, fan the halves on a rustic board, and serve with a side of spiced carrot sticks and a glass of chilled cucumber‑mint water.
- Pair the wrap with a bright quinoa salad tossed in olive oil, lemon zest, and toasted pine nuts for a complete, balanced meal.
- For a fun brunch twist, cut the wrap into bite‑size pinwheels, secure with toothpicks, and serve alongside a creamy avocado dip.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Swap store‑bought falafel for a quick chickpea‑and‑herb mash; pulse the beans, add cumin, coriander, and a dash of smoked paprika, then form tiny patties and smash them for extra texture.
- Boost the flavor profile with pickled red onions or a spoonful of harissa‑infused yogurt (use soy or coconut yogurt for a fully vegan version).
- Make it a summer picnic favorite by using a spinach tortilla and adding grilled corn kernels and fresh mango salsa for a sweet‑savory contrast.
- For extra protein, sprinkle toasted hemp seeds or chopped walnuts over the veggies before rolling the wrap.
