Ingredients

Tzatziki sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Cucumber rough chopped
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove Garlic grated or pressed
  • 1 TBSP Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 TBSP Fresh dill minced
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Falafel balls:

  • 3/4 cup Chickpeas
  • 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
  • 3 cups Canola oil for deep frying

Falafel wrap:

  • 2 Tortilla wraps
  • 1 cup Romaine lettuce shredded
  • 1/4 cup Red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Grape tomatoes halved
  • 4 TBSP Feta cheese crumbled small
  • 1/2 cup Hummus
  • 2 oz Pita chips

Lemonade

  • 24 oz Lemonade cold

Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Make the tzatziki: add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • Drain the chickpeas well and place them on a paper towel to remove the remaining exterior moisture. Transfer drained chickpeas, red onion, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, paprika powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper to a food processor and pulse until roughly mashed. Stop the processor as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl. You should achieve a paste-like consistency, but it doesn't need to be perfectly smooth – the mixture should remain slightly chunky.
  • Spoon the mixture into a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and sesame seeds, and stir until well combined. If the mixture is too moist or sticky at this stage, add a little bit more flour, until the mixture holds together. Then cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, until the oil is hot (350 °F / 176°C). Fry the balls in batches, without crowding, until nicely browned, turning as necessary (about 2-3 minutes), and set aside on paper towels to drain.
  • Spread the wrap with tzatziki sauce. Layer with lettuce, falafel balls, onion, tomatoes, and feta. Fold in the ends and roll up tightly.
  • Cut in half and serve with hummus, pita chips, and lemonade.
