@kalejunkie FALAFEL SMASH TACOS with lemon tahini sauce! This is my fav way to enjoy falafel, no deep frying required. You can load them up with whatever you’d like—I added my lemon tahini sauce, picked onions, tomatoes and parsley, but use what you have in your fridge. Hope you love this and be sure to tag me in your creations!⁣ ⁣ Makes 6 servings (1 loaded taco each)⁣ Falafel⁣ 2 cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed ⁣ 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped ⁣ 3 cloves garlic⁣ 1 cup Italian parsley, roughly chopped⁣ 3/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped⁣ 1 1/2 tsp cumin⁣ 1 tsp chili powder⁣ 1 tsp coriander⁣ 1/2 tsp cinnamon ⁣ 1 tsp baking powder⁣ 1 tsp kosher salt⁣ ⁣ Lemon Tahini Sauce⁣ ¼ cup lemon juice⁣ ⅓ cup olive oil⁣ 3 tb tahini⁣ 2 tb honey⁣ 2 tb red wine vinegar⁣ 1 tsp garlic powder⁣ 1 tsp sea salt⁣ 1 tsp black pepper⁣ Water to thin, as needed⁣ ⁣ 6 pita breads⁣ Baby tomatoes, parsley, pickled onions (optional), sesame seeds⁣ ⁣ In a large food processor, add the onion, garlic, chickpeas. Process into fine crumbs, then add in the parsley, cilantro, spices, and baking powder. It should be a paste. You may need to scrape down the inside of the food processor a few times. Be patient, it will come together. Next, make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the ingredients listed above. Taste and set aside. Now, add a large spoonful of the falafel mixture to each pita, spreading evenly. I like mine thick and hearty :). Add 1 tsp avocado oil to a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, place the pita falafel side down, cook until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Flip to the other side to crisp the bread, another minute or so. Repeat the process with remaining tacos. Add your toppings, lemon tahini sauce, then fold up and enjoy! #falafel #falafeltacos #smashtacos
