Recipe for Falafel Wraps: A Tasty and Healthful Middle Eastern Meal
Middle Eastern falafel wraps are a delicious and nutritious dish that is ideal for lunch or dinner. Falafel is a versatile protein source that can be eaten in a variety of ways and is made from chickpeas, herbs, and spices. This post will walk you through the simple steps to preparing a great falafel wrap at home.
Ingredients:
1 can of washed and drained chickpeas
Unfinely cut, one tiny onion
3 roughly sliced garlic cloves
fresh parsley leaves, 1/4 cup
14 cups fresh leaves of cilantro
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
Ground coriander, 1/2 tsp.
Cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon
12 teaspoon salt
12 teaspoons of baking powder
0.5 cups of flour
2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil
4-6 tortillas made of whole wheat
50 ml of hummus
tomato dice, half a cup
Sliced cucumbers in a cup
1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles (optional)
14 cups finely minced fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions:
1 The chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and baking powder should all be combined in a food processor. The mixture should be pulsed until it is finely minced but not pureed.
2 When the mixture holds together when pushed, add the flour and reprocess until combined. Add a spoonful at a time extra flour if the mixture is too moist.
3 Create 1-2 inch balls out of the mixture, then flatten them into patties.
4 Over medium heat, warm the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the falafel patties and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown on both sides.
5 The tortillas can be warmed on a griddle or in the microwave.
6 Spread 1-2 teaspoons of hummus over each tortilla before assembling the wrap, leaving a border all the way around.
7 Top each tortilla with a few falafel patties, chopped tomatoes, cucumber slices, and feta cheese (if using).
8 If using, top with freshly chopped parsley and carefully roll up, tucking the sides in as you go.
9 Serve right away and delight in!
Tips:
*The falafel may also be baked in the oven at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once during cooking.
*To combine the components for the falafel, if you don't have a food processor, you may either use a blender or a potato masher.
*You may add more cayenne pepper or a dash of red pepper flakes if you like your food to be spicy.
*You may use gluten-free flour or eliminate the wheat completely and use chickpea flour to make the wrap gluten-free.
Falafel wraps are a fantastic way to consume a flavorful, nutritious meal that is filled with flavor. This recipe for falafel wraps is likely to become a new favorite, whether you're a vegetarian or just seeking a nice and filling lunch or dinner!
Here are some more hints and details to produce the ideal falafel wrap:
1 You may prepare the falafel mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it. This might be especially beneficial if you're cooking more falafel than usual.
2 You may add a spoonful of tahini or yogurt to the mixture to give the falafel a smoother texture. This will also give the food a little nutty taste.
3 If fresh herbs are not available, you can substitute dried herbs. For the recipe, use around 1 teaspoon of each herb.
4 If you're vegan, you can delete the feta cheese entirely or use a vegan-friendly cheese in its place. A vegan-friendly tortilla or wrap can also be used.
5 You may add some sliced avocado or roasted veggies to the stuffing to make the wrap even more filling.
6 Use a lettuce wrap in place of a tortilla if you want to reduce the number of calories you consume. Just wrap the falafel and other ingredients in a substantial piece of lettuce.

8 If you want to experiment with the tastes, try adding other herbs or spices to the falafel batter. Smoked paprika, turmeric, and dill are a few of the preferred selections.
