  • ¼ cup tahini

For Tahini Sauce:

Steps for Making

    Make the Hummus:

  1. In a food processor, add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend while slowly drizzling in olive oil.
  2. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth and creamy.
  3. Adjust salt and lemon to taste. Set aside or refrigerate.

    Make the Tahini Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.
  2. Add cold water slowly while whisking until the sauce becomes creamy and pourable.
  3. Season with a pinch of salt. Chill until needed.

    Warm the Flatbreads:

  1. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Warm each flatbread for 30–45 seconds on each side or until soft and slightly toasted.
  3. Set aside, covered to keep warm.

    Prepare the Falafel:

  1. If using store-bought falafel, reheat according to package instructions (oven or air fryer recommended for crispiness).
  2. If using homemade falafel, fry or bake until golden and crisp.

    Assemble the Wraps:

  1. Lay one flatbread on a clean surface.
  2. Spread a generous layer of hummus across the middle.
  3. Layer with spinach or lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
  4. Add 3 falafel balls per wrap and gently press.
  5. Drizzle with tahini sauce and sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
  6. Squeeze lemon juice and season with black pepper (optional).

    Wrap and Serve

  1. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
  2. Cut in half and serve immediately with extra tahini or lemon wedges.
