Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and thinly slice cucumber lengthwise into spears.
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine vinegar, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Stir in cabbage and cucumber. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside in refrigerator to quick-pickle.
In a large pan, heat a large drizzle of oil on medium-high heat. Add potatoes, falafel, and half of the garlic powder, mashing with a wooden spoon to get large potato and falafel chunks. Cook 4-5 minutes, until potatoes and falafel get crispy, and set aside on a paper-towel plate. (If garlic is browning too quickly, lower heat. If potatoes and falafel seem dry, add another drizzle of oil).
Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
While tortillas are warming, mix together 1 1/2 tsp of water (3 tsp for 4), yogurt, remaining garlic powder, and hummus in a small bowl. Mix together until the mixture is loose and combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread inside of tortillas with yogurt hummus sauce. Evenly divide and stuff potato and falafel mixture into tortillas and follow with filling pickled cabbage and cucumber on top. Drizzle on as much remaining yogurt hummus sauce and hot sauce as desired. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the unique combination, though some found it bland; adding extra seasoning or hot sauce boosted flavor 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with pre-cooked ingredients saving time; some struggled to achieve the right texture when cooking.
- Suggestions: Consider adding more sauce, like tzatziki or chipotle mayo, to combat dryness. Try including feta cheese or pickled onions for extra flavor.
- Portions: Generous amount of filling; some wanted more cucumber and cabbage to balance the potato-falafel mixture.
- Texture: Falafel often crumbled during cooking; try cooking potatoes first, then adding falafel chunks for better consistency.
Reviews from our home cooks
These were much more involved/harder to make than expected, according to my husband, but they were still quick and DELICIOUS. Would definitely order again. The flavors were nice and fresh, balanced. I was initially concerned about portion size, but the potatoes and falafel were filling. Keep this one in the rotation please! :)
I wasn't expecting much from prepackaged falafel and precooked potatoes, but this was fantastic and easy. I did have to throw away several potatoes that had a lot of black spots on them. Wish there would have been more yogurt/hummus sauce. We really liked it
Initially, I thought this a little bit of an odd combination (potatoes & felafel), but it was really good!! It made a ton too. Having the potatoes pre cooked was big help. Would get again.
Less potato and more felafel would have been even better. Also, the falafel crumbles and burns easily. So maybe have us cook the potatoes first and smash them, then add felafel in chunks.
We really liked this - it would be even better with chopped tomatoes and cucumber. Long cucumbers weren't easy for kids. We also added chili lime chickpeas.
Loved these tacos. The tangy slaw was well balanced with the creamy hummus
Cleaver take on falafel pitas using tortillas instead. Really good, and easy to make.
One of the best 15 minute meal options! More falafel and sous-vide potato meals!
Really good. Falafel is a little dry. Would like to know how to combat or if it's the supplier.
Lots of food! I learned a new way to cook tortillas and cabbage.
