2Cook smashed falafel tacos3m 30s
Heat coconut oil in a skillet on medium heat so it forms a shallow layer. Once hot, add a falafel patty and place a tortilla on top. Use a lid or grill press to smash it down into a thin layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. Repeat for 4 tacos (or do multiple at once).
You can cook multiple tacos at once if your pan is large enough
