Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Garlic Sauce
- ½ small garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp fat-free yogurt
- ¼ lemon, juiced
Wrap Filling
- 1 flatbread or wrap
- Large handful of spinach or lettuce, shredded
- 2–3 ready-to-eat falafel
- ¼ small cucumber, halved lengthwise, deseeded and sliced
- 1 tomato, halved, deseeded and sliced
- 1 gherkin or pickled chilli, halved
- 1 tbsp pickled red cabbage, drained
- Chilli sauce, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt garlic sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, fat-free yogurt, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of cold water to loosen it to a drizzling consistency.
- Warm the flatbread: Toast the flatbread lightly in a toaster or on a dry skillet until warm and pliable, which will make rolling easier.
- Assemble the wrap: Place the warmed flatbread on a piece of baking parchment. Spread the shredded spinach or lettuce evenly over the center. Arrange 2-3 ready-to-eat falafel in a line down the center of the greens.
- Add vegetables and pickles: Layer the cucumber slices, tomato slices, gherkin or pickled chilli halves, and pickled red cabbage on top of the falafel line. Drizzle with chili sauce if desired for added heat.
- Add the sauce and roll: Spoon the yogurt garlic sauce over the fillings. Use the baking parchment to fold in both ends of the flatbread, then roll it tightly into a burrito shape.
- Cut and serve: Using a sharp bread knife, cut the wrap in half through the baking parchment. Tear away the parchment and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful handheld meal.
Notes
- This wrap can be made gluten-free by substituting the flatbread with a gluten-free wrap.
- For a vegan version, replace fat-free yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and ensure falafel contains no egg or dairy.
- Falafel can be homemade or store-bought; if using homemade baked or fried falafel, ensure they are cooked before assembling.
- Add extra herbs like fresh parsley or coriander for more flavor.
- Adjust spiciness by varying the amount of chilli sauce or pickled chilli used.
- Wraps are best eaten fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
