Falafel Wrap

Ingredients:

1. Can of chickpeas/garbanzo beans
2. 1 onion
3. 2 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
4. Flour- gluten free works! (see below for amounts)
5. Teaspoon of cumin
6. Teaspoon of coriander
7. 1 yellow pepper or yellow pepper rings- either one
8. Tomato (enough for the amount you want)
9. Oil, enough to cover the pan by a centimeter- BUT you can deep fry these.
10. Pita wrap
11. Spinach
12. Pickle or cucumber
13. Anything sort of sauce. The sauce can completely change it. You can do a coconut yogurt (not coconut flavored; made from coconut), plain sriracha, lime, etc. You can even use barbecue if you like it but that wouldn't be very good but then again people eat mayonnaise on pizza so there's a chance you would like it. 
 
Making the Falafel:
Kinda chop the onion and place it into a food processor. Drain a can of chickpeas and place the actual chickpeas into the processor too. Process until everything is smaller than half a centimeter but more than 5 millimeter chunks. What you have might be a little watery so you can drain this after it's mixed, but you don't have to. If it is a little watery and you don't drain it you'll have to use more flour. put it in a bowl and add the garlic and spices. Then add at least 3 tablespoons of flour. Mine seemed fine but fell apart when I fried it. So make it into a 2 centimeter to a 1 inch ball and place it into hot oil and let it get nice and brown, and roll it on to each side until its evenly colored.
 
Wrapping it:
Toast the pita til it's warm. Chop the tomato and yellow pepper and put from one side to the other along with the falafel, spinach, and cucumber/pickle. Add the sauce and wrap.
 
BAM SON. BOOM. DELICIOUS. YOU'RE WELCOME.
