Ingredients
  

For the Falafel & Tortillas

  • 8-12 falafel balls or patties store-bought or homemade
  • 8-12 small corn or flour tortillas

For the Creamy Tahini-Garlic Sauce

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Salt to taste

For the Toppings

  • Shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • Diced tomatoes and cucumbers
  • Thinly sliced red onions or pickled onions
  • Fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Falafel: If using store-bought falafel, follow the package directions to heat them in the oven or air fryer until they are hot and crispy. If making them from scratch, fry or bake them until golden brown.
  • Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, warm water, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and pourable. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Prep the Toppings: While the falafel cooks, prepare all your toppings. Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers, shred the lettuce or cabbage, and chop the cilantro. Place all the toppings in separate bowls for easy assembly.
  • Warm the Tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tortillas in the hot skillet, one at a time, for about 30 seconds per side, until they are soft and slightly toasted. Wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
  • Assemble the Falafel Tacos: Place 2-3 warm tortillas on each plate. Fill each one with a few hot falafel balls. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Drizzle generously with the creamy tahini-garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve the falafel tacos immediately while they are warm.

Notes

This recipe works best with pre-made falafel for a quick meal, but you can use a homemade recipe if you have more time.
