Season with salt, then stir to combine. Microwave in 15 sec increments, stirring between each, until sugar dissolves. (NOTE: This is your pickling liquid.) Add shallots, then set aside to pickle.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then falafel. Pan-fry until golden-brown, 3-4 min per side. Meanwhile, combine 1 tbsp oil and 2 tsp pickling liquid in a small bowl. Add radishes, tomatoes and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Add tahini, mayo, 1 tbsp warm water, 1/4 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp pickling liquid to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Wrap flatbreads in paper towels. Microwave until warm and flexible, 1 min. (NOTE: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the flatbreads!)
Spread half the tahini sauce over flatbreads, then top each flatbread with 4 falafel.Top with salad, then pickled shallots.Drizzle remaining tahini sauce over top.Fold flatbreads in half to eat, or dig in with a knife and fork.
