Ingredients
- 1 cup bulgur wheat
- 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 eggplant, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup hummus (optional)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Preparation
Start by cooking the bulgur. Rinse it under cold water, then cook according to package instructions. Usually, it involves boiling in water for about 12 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Once the vegetables are roasted and the bulgur is cooled, assemble the wraps. Spread a layer of hummus on each tortilla if using. Distribute the cooked bulgur evenly over the tortillas, then top with roasted vegetables.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro. Roll up the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. Slice in half diagonally to serve.
