Flip the tortilla over, and lightly brush the oil, flip it again and lightly brush the tortilla. tortilla should have light golden color on both sides.
Remove the tortilla from the skillet, make both tortilla same way. And set it aside. You can cook the tortillas in advance.

Assembling the Frankie

Take one tortilla and put it over a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of peanut sauce over tortilla, leaving 1/2 inch around. Center of the tortilla spread the vegetables moderately, spinach, carrot, bell pepper, cucumber, cabbage, and cilantro. Roll them tightly like burrito.
Use extra peanut sauce as a dip.

Instead of tortilla you may use left over Roti, Paratha. Serve Peanut Sauce as a dipping sauce with vegetable salad, French fries or with variety of bread.
