Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush 8 store-bought falafel patties with 2 tbsp olive oil and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until heated through and grill marks appear.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tbsp water, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Warm 4 large pita breads on the grill pan for 1 minute per side to soften.
Step 4: Assemble each wrap by spreading 1 tbsp tahini dressing on a pita, then layering 2 grilled falafel patties, 1/4 cup chopped romaine lettuce, 1/8 medium cucumber thinly sliced, 1/4 medium diced tomato, and some thinly sliced red onion.
Step 5: Roll up the pita tightly and serve immediately with extra tahini sauce for dipping.
