spray
2) In a large bowl, toss the eggplant with the oil to coat. add the
zucchini, bell peppers, onion, vinegar, and garlic, tossing to mix well.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Roast, uncovered, stirring once
or twice, until the vegetables are tender, 25-30 minutes.
3) Heat a dry large frying pan (not one with a nonstick surface) over
medium heat. One at a time, heat the tortillas in the hot pan on each side
until softened about 20 seconds per side.
4) To serve, divide the tortillas among individual plates. Spread an equal
amount of the vegetable mixture and rice on each tortilla. Top with 1/2
tablespoon of the salsa. Fold in both sides of each tortilla up over the
filling, then roll to close. Garnish with the cilantro sprigs.

: The Spanish word, Fajita, meaning little bands or sashes, refers to the
strips of skirt steak for which the dish was first developed by a butcher
in Austin, Texas in the 1960s. Today, the term applies to any strips of
savory food: not to the sandwich, although Fajitas are usually accompanied
by tortillas.
