→ Wrap Assembly
16 - 4 large flour tortillas
17 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
18 - 1 cup sliced cucumber
19 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
20 - 1/2 cup hummus
21 - 16 black olive slices
22 - Optional: hot sauce or tahini sauce
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush two flour tortillas with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Cut tortillas into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide. Spread strips on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crisp. Allow strips to cool completely.
02 - Combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, flour, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is combined but slightly coarse. Form the mixture into twelve small patties or balls.
03 - Pour vegetable oil into a skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat over medium-high. Fry the falafel in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer fried falafel to paper towels to drain excess oil.
04 - Lay out a large flour tortilla. Spread 2 tablespoons hummus along the center. Layer with 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 1/4 cup sliced cucumber, and 1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes.
05 - Position three falafel on top of the vegetable layer. Drape baked tortilla strips across the falafel to create a bandaged mummy effect. Place two olive slices on each falafel patty for eyes.
06 - Add a drizzle of hot sauce or tahini sauce as desired. Carefully roll up the wrap, leaving one end open to display the mummy falafel. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for lunch packs.
