High protein falafel wrap!! Super easy to make and genuinely delicious! We use tempeh or tofu as the extra protein hit, add in more chilli or spices for a more punchy flavour. When we made these first we ended up eating them for brekkie and they went down a treat!

Ingredients

Falafel

400 g chickpeas
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tsp ground cumin
handful fresh parsley
150 tempeh
1 lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp oil for frying

To assemble

2 wholemeal tortilla
350 g hummus
1 tomato
1 baby gem lettuce
100 g red sauerkraut
3 tbsp tahini
6 tbsp yoghurt we used coconut!
15 g fresh parsley

Instructions

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Peel the onion and garlic and roughly chop.
Dice the parsley and roughly chop the tempeh and add them all to a food processor or blender along with the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cumin and pulse/ blend until it comes together but not too much.
Using a spoon or clean hands shape into small balls.You can cook them in a deep fat fryer for a crispier, more authentic falafel, or shallow fry them in a non-stick pan with the 2 tbsp of oil and else bake them in an air fryer or oven for a lower fat version. Cook the falafel till lightly brown on the outside.
Dice the tomato, slice the lettuce. For the tahini cream, mix the tahini along with the yoghurt with juice of 1/2 a lemon until it comes together into a lovely cream that can drizzle nicely.
To bring together, on a wrap or tortilla add a generous spread of hummus, some tomato, lettuce, sauerkraut, the falafel, drizzle over the tahini cream and finish with some pickled red onions for a nice acidic pop! Wrap up and enjoy!
