Preparation

Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 2-4 min, stirring often, until fragrant. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.) Transfer to a plate.

Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
Cut radishes into 1/4-inch half-moons.
To a medium bowl, add mayo, rice wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, half the soy sauce and half the sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
Add coleslaw mix and radishes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

To another medium bowl, add half the Honey-Garlic Sauce (use all for 4 servings), 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water, remaining soy sauce and remaining sesame oil. Whisk to combine.

Reheat the pan (from step 1) over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp oil, then falafel. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 servings if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
Lightly smash falafel into smaller pieces, then pan-fry for 4-8 min, tossing occasionally, until browned.
Remove from heat, add sweet-soy glaze, then toss to coat.

Wrap tortillas in paper towels.
Microwave for 1 min, until tortillas are warm and flexible. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas.)
