Roasted Eggplant Tortilla Wraps

March 7, 2023

Eggplant is just about my favorite vegetable. OK, yes I know that technically it is a fruit but it’s still about my favorite vegetable. We bought a couple at the food store the other day and I made roasted eggplant tortilla wraps for dinner. They were so good. Plus they are eminently adaptable to your personal taste.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for half an hour, turning the slices halfway through, until soft. If they need a little longer keep baking but check every five minutes as they will burn if not attended to.
  • Set aside

Roast the Chickpeas

  • Place on a baking sheet and mix with 1 TBS olive oil, 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp garlic powder.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Make the Tortillas:

  • Warm the tortillas in the oven for about 5 minutes. The residual heat from cooking the eggplant and chickpeas should do the job.

  • Spread about 2 TBS tzatziki on the tortilla, add some lettuce followed by a couple of slices of roasted eggplant, two pieces of sliced avocado and some chickpeas. If desired add onion but I don’t like it so I didn’t serve it.
  • Fold up the tortilla and enjoy

How Were the Roasted Eggplant Tortilla Wraps?

Truly yummy! We both love eggplant and the addition of the chickpeas was well, magical. They added a depth of flavor I just wasn’t expecting and I can’t wait to have these again tonight. There was enough for another meal so we will enjoy the leftovers very much.
