Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: balsamic glaze for drizzling
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy.
While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the tomatoes and basil. Toss the cherry tomatoes with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt. Keep the basil leaves whole or tear them into smaller pieces for easier wrapping.
Once the eggplant slices are crispy, let them cool slightly. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable. Spread a small amount of olive oil or hummus on each tortilla if desired.
Assemble the wraps by layering roasted eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves on each tortilla. Drizzle with a little olive oil and, if you like, a touch of balsamic glaze for added flavor.
Roll up each tortilla tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours.
