Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato into fries and place on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with the mixed sesame seeds, season with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
While the fries are baking, cut the eggplant into small chunks. Cut the red onion into wedges. When the fries have 15 minutes cook time remaining, place the eggplant and onion on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: Adding enough oil ensures the eggplant will soften in time.
Cut the cucumber into thin sticks. Finely chop the garlic. In a small bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and a splash of water.
When the eggplant is done, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the roasted eggplant, onion and teriyaki sauce mixture, stirring, until sticky and heated through, 3-4 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the slaw mix and 1/2 the mayonnaise. Season to taste and set aside. Microwave the mini flourtortillas on a plate for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
Spread the remaining mayo over the tortillas, then top with the slaw, teriyaki eggplant and cucumber. Garnish with the crushed peanuts and serve with the sesame fries.
TIP: Add the sesame fries to your taco if you prefer!
