Season: Drizzle the reduced sweet balsamic vinegar over the fillings. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano or basil, if desired, to enhance the flavors.
-
Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the fillings completely.
