Directions:
Place the chickpeas, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, parsley, flour, salt, and pepper into a food processor and blend until smooth. Shape the mixture into two even patties. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Heat a non-stick fry pan over medium heat and spray lightly with oil spray. Add the falafels and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. To save time, the falafels can be made and cooked the night before and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

To serve, spread half of the tzatziki over the inside of the pita bread. Fill with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and falafels. Drizzle over the remaining tzatziki.
