Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Grill pan
  • Paper towels
  • Wide blade knife
  • Microwave or dry skillet (for warming wraps)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Sesame (Hummus)
⚠️ Wheat (Tortilla)

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds. Salt, let stand 10 minutes, then blot moisture with paper towel.

Tip: Salting breaks down cell walls and draws out water, so eggplant becomes creamier when fried and absorbs less oil (texture improvement).
2 ✓

Crush garlic and mix with olive oil, pepper, and pepper flakes. Brush eggplant rounds lightly with this spiced oil.

Tip: Oil transfers heat to the vegetable. Mixing spices into oil helps flavors dissolve better (fat-soluble flavors).
3 ✓

Grill eggplant in hot grill pan for 2-3 minutes per side until dark grill marks appear and it softens.

Tip: Don't move it constantly! Let hot metal caramelize the surface (Maillard reaction).
4 ✓

Prep filling: cut tomatoes and cucumber into thin strips (julienne).

Tip: Vegetable strips conform better to rolling than cubes, so tortilla won't tear.
5 ✓

Warm tortillas in dry skillet for 10 seconds per side until pliable.

Tip: Heat softens fat and starch in dough, restoring elasticity.
6 ✓

Spread hummus on wraps, pile on vegetables and eggplant. Fold up bottom, then roll tightly.

Tip: Hummus acts as glue here, holding the wrap together.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the tortilla crack when rolling?
Because it dried out or is cold. Definitely warm it up before rolling to loosen the starch structure and regain elasticity.
What if the eggplant is too oily?
Eggplant is like a sponge. Only brush with oil right before frying, don't soak it!
