Notes

Helpful tips

To make the process quicker, you can choose to use frozen falafels, or make them out of premade falafel mixes.
Feel free to add any toppings that you fancy! Some great addition includes vegan feta, condiments like hummus and tzatziki, and chopped fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley.

Meal prep tips

Although these falafel tacos are best enjoyed immediately, most components can be prepped ahead of time.

Falafels - They will keep well in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Hence, I recommended multiplying the ingredients to make a larger batch so you will have leftovers for another round of tacos.

Vegetables - You can also pre-chop your veggies on the weekends and store them in separate containers. They will last about 3-4 days.

Tahini sauce - Can be refrigerated for up to a week. Just note that it will get thicker the longer it is stored, but you can quickly thin it out with water or lemon juice when ready to use.
