Lebanese Falafel Wrap

Lebanese falafel wrap - as the name suggests, is a very popular dish in the Lebanese or Mediterranean cuisine. Traditionally it is made using Pita bread or Pita pockets. I have here used ready made tortilla wraps to make the base. This was first introduced to me by my best friend. She is definitely a pro in making these wraps with ease. Though I had tasted this already at a restaurant called New Yorker, I was not very much fond of this. She had once made it on an occasion for dinner. It tasted so so delicious that I instantly fell in love with it. This tasted way too good compared to restaurant which served them and it was pricey too. This is a recipe that is shared by her and I tried this at home for my husband. I was really happy with the way it had turned out. Here, I am sharing this special recipe that was passed on to me by my friend. Enjoy this International cuisine made easily at home in a less expensive way :):) Once the ingredients like falafel, tahini and veggies are ready, the falafel wrap is very easy to make and is just assembling work.



Ingredients

  1. Tortilla Wraps - 6 
  2. Red Chili Sauce - 2 tbsp per wrap or more as per taste 
  3. Tahini Sauce - 3 tbsp per wrap or more as per taste
  4. Falafel - 3 per wrap
  5. Aluminium Foil for wrapping

Vegetables

  • Lettuce or Cabbage (shredded) - 1/2 cabbage 
  • Onion - 1 Large (cut as shown in the pic) 
  • Carrot- 2 big (cut into julienne as shown in the pic) 
  • Tomato - 3 large (halved and cut lengthwise)



Method

1. Heat the tortilla wrap either with little olive oil or butter on a pan until brown spots appear.

2. Apply some red chili sauce on the tortilla base.

3. Assemble all the veggies on the top - middle portion of the wrap, spare some space in the bottom and both sides of the wrap as we need to fold them on the sides and bottom so that it becomes spill proof.

4. Drizzle generous tahini sauce and chili sauce on the veggies. Place 3 falafel over the veggies.

5. Fold the left and right side of the wrap and then fold the bottom of the wrap upwards so the the contents are secured inside the wrap.

6. Use a aluminium foil to secure the wrap tight as shown in the picture.

7. Serve the wraps fresh along with Tahini Sauce or any sauce of your choice :):)!!!!


Notes,Tips & Add-on's

  1. If you are unable to get hold of tortilla wraps, you can make a wrap base using All purpose flour. It comes out really soft and tastes even good.
  2. Veggies can be anything of your choice :)
