Easy Homemade Falafel Wrap Recipe with Yogurt Sauce
By Heather
This vegetarian falafel wrap is flavor-packed! The falafel recipe is made using a mixture of chickpeas, tahini, sauteed vegetables, and amazing spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. The middle eastern spices go perfect with the goat cheese yogurt sauce and fresh veggies. We wrap everything up together in tortillas and you’re left with an easy-to-make, super delicious, portable lunch on the go!
Over medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil to a large pan. Once hot, add the onions and jalapeno and sauté for about six minutes or until tender. Add the coriander, cumin, and turmeric, cook for 1 minute, remove from heat, and set the cooked vegetables aside.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, 1 tbsp olive oil, tahini, and lemon juice. Blend well, scraping the sides if needed, and then scoop it out into a large bowl.
To the bowl with the chickpea mixture, add the cooked vegetables, garlic, sea salt, pepper, oat flour, and egg white. Mix to fully combine.
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the same skillet as before over medium heat. Form the chickpea mixture into 8 equal patties using slightly wet hands. Add to the pan with the hot oil. Allow the falafels to cook on one side for 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes on the second side. You’re looking for a golden brown color on each side of the crispy falafel. For best results, cook in batches in you’re using a smaller pan. Set aside when done cooking.
To make the sauce, mix together the yogurt, goat cheese, and green onion in a small bowl.
Warm the tortillas in a pan.
Build your falafel wrap by spreading 1-2 tablespoons of sauce on a tortilla, add 2 falafel patties, sliced tomatoes, fresh baby spinach, and then roll into your own falafel wrap!
