• Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour and baking powder.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Form the chickpea mixture into small balls or patties and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• To make the tzatziki sauce, combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
• To assemble the wrap, warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on each tortilla.
• Add a few falafel balls or patties to the center of each tortilla, followed by sliced tomato, red onion, fresh parsley, cilantro, and lettuce leaves.
