Falafel Wrap Recipe

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the four whole-wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across each tortilla, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.
  2. Layer the Fillings: Starting from the left side of each tortilla, arrange a strip of baby spinach followed by thinly sliced avocado, shredded beets, shredded carrot, and crumbled falafels.
  3. Roll the Wraps: Carefully roll up each tortilla, tucking in the ingredients as you go to ensure a tight and secure wrap. Roll from left to right, folding in the edges as needed to encase the fillings completely.
  4. Secure with Toothpicks: Once rolled, insert two toothpicks diagonally into each wrap to hold them together. This will prevent the fillings from spilling out and help maintain the shape of the wraps.
  5. Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap in half diagonally to create two equal portions. Arrange the wraps on a serving platter and serve immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures.

Recipe Notes:

  • Preparation Tips: For added convenience, prepare a batch of falafels and hummus in advance to streamline the assembly process. Store-bought options are also suitable for a quick meal solution.
  • Tortilla Selection: Opt for 100% whole-grain tortillas to boost the fiber content of your wraps. Gluten-free tortillas can be substituted for those with dietary restrictions.
  • Rolling Technique: To prevent the fillings from escaping, tightly roll the wraps starting from the side with the crumbled falafels. Tuck in the sides as you roll to create a snug package.
  • Storage Recommendations: While these wraps can be made ahead, they are best enjoyed fresh to maintain optimal texture and flavor. Avoid storing them for extended periods to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy
