Instructions
- Peel and slice eggplant. The skin gets bitter when you grill it, so my pictures have the skin on but I wished I had removed them.
- To take away the bitterness from the eggplant completely you can sprinkled the slices with salt, let sit for 30 minutes, this will remove the bitterness, you then rinse off the salt, then season with the seasoning.
- Mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin and chipotle chili powder and drizzle a small amount over each prepared vegetable slices.
- Toss each group in the oil and seasoning then grill them each on a grill, you can use a pan in you are worried about them falling through or you can grill them up in a pan or griddle.
- Once the vegetables are softened sufficiently, serve with black beans and all of your favorite taco fixings.
- Enjoy!
