Ingredients (serves 4):

- 8 tostada shells
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

- 1/2 cup of tahini
- 1/4 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of hot sauce
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, flour, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a tablespoon, scoop the falafel mixture and form it into small patties. Fry the patties in the hot oil until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until they are crispy.
5. To make the Spicy Tahini Sauce, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
6. To assemble the tostadas, spread a spoonful of the Spicy Tahini Sauce on each tostada shell. Top with a few falafel patties and drizzle with more sauce.
