Easy Vegan Grilled Eggplant Wrap

Ingredients
- 1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large tortilla or wrap of choice
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Water to thin the tahini sauce, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggplant: Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the Eggplant: Place the eggplant slices on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender and grill marks appear. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the Tahini Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and enough water to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Season with salt to taste.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay the tortilla flat and spread a layer of tahini sauce on it. Add grilled eggplant, spinach, cucumber, tomato, and red onion on top.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
