Roll it up – Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from one end to the other.
Serve – Cut in half if desired, and enjoy immediately while warm.

storage/reheating

Storage: Wraps assembled without the egg or sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Keep sauces separate to maintain crispness.

FAQs

What kind of falafel should I use for breakfast wraps?

You can use homemade or store-bought falafel—just ensure they’re reheated until crisp to complement the wrap’s texture.

Can I bake the falafel instead of frying?

Absolutely. Baking falafel with a light spray of oil yields a healthier alternative while preserving a satisfying exterior.

What’s the best sauce for a breakfast wrap?

Classic options include hummus, tahini sauce, tzatziki, or yogurt-based sauces—choose based on your taste and desired richness.

Can I add eggs to this wrap?

Yes—fried or poached eggs add a delicious, protein-rich breakfast element without compromising flavor.

How do I prevent the wrap from getting soggy?

Assemble ingredients just before serving—or store components separately and wrap immediately before eating.

Are falafel wraps freezer-friendly?

Yes; wrap them tightly after assembling (without hot or delicate ingredients), freeze, and reheat when ready—crisping in a pan improves texture.

What vegetables pair well with falafel in a breakfast wrap?

Options like tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, pickled cabbage, or even roasted bell peppers work beautifully.

Is it vegetarian/vegan friendly?

It is inherently vegetarian. For vegan wraps, choose plant-based sauces and skip dairy or egg additions.

How can I make it gluten‑free?

Use gluten‑free wraps and ensure falafel (particularly if using store‑bought) is also gluten‑free.

Can I turn this into a breakfast bowl instead?

Yes—deconstruct the wrap and layer falafel, vegetables, and sauce in a bowl for a wrapped‑inspired, scoopable alternative.
