For Assembly:

Instructions

  • In a food processor, pulse the cooked chickpeas, onion, garlic, herbs, cumin, paprika, baking soda, flour, salt, and pepper until combined but still slightly chunky. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
  • Form small round patties (about 1.5 inches wide). Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the falafel for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown. Drain on a paper towel placed on a plate.
  • Mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs to make the tzatziki sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Warm the flatbreads slightly.
  • Spread a generous layer of tzatziki.
  • Add the falafel, shredded lettuce or greens, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, radishes, and crumbled feta.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and an extra drizzle of tzatziki.
  • Wrap or fold depending on the type of bread you are using, and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftover falafel in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Tzatziki can be stored in a separate container for 2-3 days.
