To make this dish, you'll need the following ingredients:

- For the falafel:

- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- For the pickled vegetables:

- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 carrot, thinly sliced

- For the wrap:

- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
To start, make the falafel. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Add the flour and baking powder, and pulse again until the mixture comes together into a dough.
Using your hands, form the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the falafel balls to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
While the falafel is cooking, make the pickled vegetables. In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the sliced onion, cucumber, and carrot. Pour the pickling liquid over the vegetables and stir to combine. Let the vegetables sit in the pickling liquid for at least 10 minutes.
To assemble the wraps, spread a generous spoonful of hummus onto each tortilla. Top with a few falafel balls, some pickled vegetables, a dollop of tzatziki sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, cilantro, and feta cheese. Roll up the tortillas tightly and serve immediately.
This Spicy Falafel Wrap with Pickled Vegetables is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for any time of day. The falafel is crispy and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice, while the pickled vegetables add a tangy crunch.
