# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, black pepper, flour, and baking powder in a food processor. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms without over-processing.
03 - Form the mixture into 18 to 20 small falafel balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray with olive oil.
04 - Bake falafel for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp. Alternatively, pan-fry in batches with olive oil until evenly browned.
05 - In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
06 - Gently warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
07 - Place the tortillas overlapping in a circular wreath shape on a large serving platter.
08 - Spread a layer of tzatziki on each tortilla and top with baby spinach, falafel balls, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and optional crumbled feta.
09 - Fold and tuck the tortillas to enclose the fillings, forming a continuous wreath. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
10 - Decorate the wreath with pomegranate seeds and fresh mint leaves. Serve with additional tzatziki on the side.
