Variations

Swap the shrak/tortilla with pita, lavash, or laffa (a thicker Middle Eastern flatbread) for a different texture.
Add extra crunch with pickled vegetables or a side of tabbouleh.
Include different sauces, like hummus or tzatziki, for a creamy twist.

Storage/Reheating

Best eaten fresh, as vegetables and falafel may lose texture over time.
If needed, refrigerate leftover components separately.
Reheat falafel gently in an oven or skillet before assembling the wrap to preserve crispness.
