Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Sauce
- ½ small garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp fat-free yogurt
- ¼ lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp cold water (optional, to loosen sauce)
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 garlic yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, fat-free yogurt, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of cold water to loosen it and stir until smooth.
- Warm the flatbread: Toast the flatbread lightly in a toaster to make it pliable and warm for easier wrapping, if desired.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay the warmed flatbread on a piece of baking parchment. Spread a layer of shredded spinach or lettuce over the center. Arrange the ready-to-eat falafel in a line down the middle of the greens.
- Add fresh and pickled vegetables: Top the falafel with sliced cucumber, tomato, halved gherkin or pickled chilli, and pickled red cabbage. Drizzle with a little chilli sauce if using, to add a touch of heat.
- Add yogurt sauce and wrap: Spoon the prepared garlic yogurt sauce evenly over the filling. Using the baking parchment, fold in both ends of the flatbread and roll tightly into a burrito shape, securing the filling inside.
- Slice and serve: Using a bread knife, cut the rolled wrap in half through the baking parchment. Tear away the parchment to serve and enjoy immediately while the flavors are fresh.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute the fat-free yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond yogurt.
- Use freshly made falafel for best flavor if available, or ready-to-eat varieties for convenience.
- To add more protein, consider adding hummus or a spread of tahini inside the wrap.
- Chilli sauce is optional and can be adjusted according to your spice preference.
- Warm the flatbread gently to prevent cracking when rolling the wrap.
