Hunh?

You're going to have to describe the structure of that.

To me a falafel is a mediterranean hush-puppy that is
crumbled into a pita.

Are you saying to make a hush-puppy out of a blob of
black beans and crumble it into a mexican flapjack?

Or make a bean burrito and deep-fry the whole thing
(which would then, of course, be a bean chimichanga...).
