This recipe for Spicy Hummus & Quinoa Falafel is so simple and delicious and you only need a few ingredients to make this sandwich recipe.

When I was in Los Angeles for the Big Traveling Potluck back in April, I had the pleasure of meeting the social media rep for Sabra. We had one major thing in common: neither of us wanted to be on a bus going up in the Murrieta foothills. Lucky for us, my roommate Fabi from Not Just Baked, had a car. 2 trips up the foothills and back made the 3 of us fast friends.
We talked about everything under the sun, including our love of hair bands, which concerts we loved and hummus. Stephanie, or Steeephanie as I like to call her, asked if I’d like to develop a recipe using hummus. Umm, heck to the YA I would. Little did I know that I would receive every kind of hummus that Sabra made. Seriously, 2 gigantor boxes showed up at my door, then another one a few days later. This is my fridge, which doesn’t even show it all! Really!
My first recipe was a Hummus Crusted Tilapia. ย It was really tasty, but no amount of photo editing would make it look appetizing. ย Lighting, hunger, rushing….it all played against the poor poor tilapia. ย It was super easy though. ย Slather defrosted Tilapia fillets with your fave hummus and bake. ย VIOLA! ย Easy and really great – just not photogenic.
I was brainstorming with my good friend Nelly over at Cooking with Books, because I knew she’d have some good hummus ideas. She’s a Tastemaker which means that she works with Sabra on a regular basis. We tossed ideas back and forth over the fence and then the Falafel idea was born. This recipe is seriously 3 ingredients, super easy and it’s seriously tasty! Thanks to Stephanie and Sabra for asking me to develop a recipe using their superior hummus. My family is forever spoiled by the chickpea love.
