ingredients

2 cans chickpeas

1 garlic clove

1 teaspoons cumin

1 teaspoons coriander

0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons cilantro chopped

1 tablespoons whole wheat flour

1 teaspoons baking powder

1 large English cucumber grated

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons low fat sour cream

1 lemon juiced

2 tablespoons dill chopped

1 tablespoons red wine vinegar

directions

Preheat oven to 400*. In a food processor, combine first 10 ingredients and pulse to combine. Form falafel mixture into patties and place onto a non-stick cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip and bake for 10 more minutes. While the falafels are baking, make the tatziki sauce by placing remaining ingredients into a bowl and whisk. This can be made a day ahead. Once falafels are done, place them into whole wheat pita's with the tatziki and any other fresh ingredients desired. I like to add cucumbers, pickled red onion, and hot sauce. Enjoy!
