Heat your grill to high. Lay 2 tortillas each on 2 baking trays and spoon the aubergine mix over the tortillas. Sprinkle over the pine nuts. Grill for 2-3 mins till the pine nuts have browned and the edges of the tortillas are crisp. Keep your eye on them, as the pine nuts can catch and burn quickly.
