Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper any color, diced
  • 1 eggplant skin on, diced
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • ½ cup walnuts diced very fine
  • 8 oz diced tomatoes with green chilis
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 large tortillas

Instructions

  • In a large pan, heat grapeseed oil until shimmery.
  • Add bell pepper, and cook on medium high heat until slightly browned- about 4 minutes
  • Add eggplant and zucchini, cook until reduced by half- about 10 minutes.
  • Add walnuts, diced tomatoes, stir well and stir in taco seasoning with water.
  • Stir well to mix and be sure seasoning evenly coats mixture.
  • Let water cook off - about 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large cast iron or nonstick pan on medium high until hot to the touch (sprinkle a little water in the pan to know if it is hot- it will sizzle if it is!)
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Add filling into 1/2 of tortilla, and place filling side up in pan.
  • Let tortilla soften for about 30 seconds, then fold over.
  • Cook on low until lightly browned, about four minutes.
  • Flip and cook on other side until lightly browned.
  • Remove and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
