Spicy Falafel Wraps

I'm trying out new recipes two times a week to keep myself challenged and of course to present delicious new recipes to you all! Today I made delicious spicy falafel wraps from scratch and there perfect and they are vegetarian!

Duration: 20 minutes

The ingredients for 3 wraps:

• 3 whole wheat wraps
• 1 can (400 gr) chickpeas, washed and drained
• 1 small white onion, finely chopped
• 1 crushed garlic clove
• 1 ts cumin
• 1 ts dried coriander
• Handful fresh parsley
• 1 tbs sweet paprika powder
• 1 beaten egg
• 2 tbs olive oil
• Handful of lettuce
• Some cucumber slices
• 1 sliced tomato
• Some carrot julienne 

The ingredients for the guacamole:

• 1 avocado
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 1/2 chopped tomato
• 1 ts dried coriander
• 1 crushed garlic clove
• Pepper & Salt

What you do:

1. Heat up 1 tbs of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion and garlic over low heat for 5 minutes until softened. 
2. Meanwhile make the avocado: mash the avocado with a fork, add all other ingredients and mix together. Set aside with the avocado pit in the middle to avoid it getting brown.
3. When the onion mixture is done, put in a bowl together with the chickpeas (don't forget to rinse and dry them!) and dried spices and mash together with a potato masher, fork or in your food processor until the chickpeas are broken down. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley, season with salt & pepper. Beat the egg and put into the mixture and squish it together with your hands.
4. Mould the mixture in 6-8 balls, then flatten into patties. Heat up the remaining oil in the frying pan and fry the falafels on a medium heat for max 5 minutes each side until they are golden brown and firm. 
5. Serve them in a wrap (2-3 per wrap depending on their size) with the guacamole, tomato, cucumber, carrot juliene and lettuce.

Enjoy!
