A flavorful and spicy falafel wrap packed with crispy falafel balls, fresh vegetables, and a zesty tahini or hot sauce, all wrapped in soft flatbread.

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, diced
