Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and toast 8 store-bought falafel balls for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tbsp water, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach drizzling consistency.
  3. Step 3: Warm 2 large whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side until pliable.
  4. Step 4: Lay each tortilla flat and spread half of the tahini sauce (about 2 tbsp) in the center.
  5. Step 5: Top each with 1/2 cup shredded lettuce, toasted 4 falafel balls, 1/4 cup quick pickled red onion, 1/4 cup sliced cucumber, and 1/4 cup sliced tomato.
  6. Step 6: Fold the bottom edge over the filling and roll tightly from the side to enclose. Serve immediately with extra tahini sauce if desired.
