  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 TBSP Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh dill
  • Salt to taste

Falafel

  • 1/2 cup Chickpeas drained
  • 1/4 cup Red onion rough chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1.5 TBSP All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds
  • 3 cups Canola oil for deep frying

Wrap

  • 2 large Tortilla wraps
  • 1 cup Romaine lettuce shredded
  • 1/4 cup Red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Grape tomatoes halved
  • ¼ cup Feta cheese diced
  • 1 cup Pickles sliced

Carrots and Hummus

  • 1 cup Carrots peeled and cut into sticks or baby carrots
  • 1/2 cup Hummus

Watermelon Lime Chia Fresca

  • 2 cups Watermelon cubed seeds removed
  • 1/2 cup Lime juice
  • 16 oz Water
  • 2 TBSP Maple syrup or honey (your choice)
  • 1/2 tsp Chia seeds
  • pinch Salt
  • 2 sprigs Fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients as instructed in the ingredient list.
  • Make the tzatziki sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine cucumber, Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning, then refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Prepare the falafel mixture: Drain and pat dry the chickpeas. In a food processor, pulse chickpeas, red onion, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, paprika, parsley, salt, and black pepper until a coarse, thick paste forms. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder, and sesame seeds until fully combined. If too wet, add a little more flour. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
  • After chilling, shape the mixture into evenly sized balls or discs. Heat canola oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (177°C). Fry falafel in batches, turning as needed, until golden brown and crisp (about 3–4 minutes per batch). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Make the watermelon lime chia fresca: In a blender, combine watermelon, lime juice, water, maple syrup or honey, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes so the chia seeds bloom. Garnish with fresh mint.
  • Assemble the wraps: Lay each wrap flat and layer with romaine lettuce, sliced red onion, falafel, grape tomatoes, feta, pickles, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half.
  • Serve the wrap with carrots, hummus, and watermelon lime chia fresca.
