For the salsa, blanch the tomatoes, drain, peel, core and dice the flesh. Season with garlic, not-pepper sauce, ketchup, salt and lemon juice. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Soak the chickpeas overnight in cold water. Peel and chop the onion and garlic and add to the drained chickpeas, then mince finely in a food processor. Add the chopped cilantro, olive oil, parsley and breadcrumbs. Season with cumin, salt, pepper and coriander. Form into small balls and fry in portions in hot oil. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, then keep warm.
Warm up the wraps in a dry pan quickly on both sides. Arrange some lettuce, onion rings and chickpea balls on the wraps and roll up. Serve garnished with lemon wedges and place the salsa in a small bowl on the side.
