Bring the vibrant energy of Mediterranean street food to your kitchen with this satisfying, high-protein falafel wrap. The star of the show is the crispy, herb-packed chickpea fritter, which offers a robust crunch that contrasts beautifully with a silky, nutty tahini drizzle. Wrapped in a warm, soft flatbread with crisp seasonal vegetables and a tangy pickle, this assembly is perfect for a quick, nutrient-dense lunch that keeps you energised without feeling heavy.
1.5 cups chickpeas, soaked overnight (never use canned for the right texture)  1 cup fresh coriander and parsley, packed  3 cloves garlic and 1 small onion  1 tsp cumin powder and 1 tsp coriander powder  4-5 medium-sized wraps or pita breads  For filling: sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled turnips, and a generous pour of tahini sauce
Pulse the soaked chickpeas, fresh herbs, garlic, onion, and spices in a food processor until you achieve a coarse, sand-like consistencyâbe careful not to turn it into a paste.
Shape the mixture into small, firm patties or balls and deep fry (or air fry at 200°C) until the exterior is dark golden and intensely crisp while the inside remains moist and fluffy.
Warm your flatbreads or pita pockets on a hot griddle until they are pliable and slightly charred at the edges.
Spread a generous base of tahini sauce on the flatbread, layer on 3 to 4 hot falafel balls, top with the fresh vegetables and pickles, and roll tightly into a secure, portable wrap.
