Ingredients

4 small corn or flour tortillas
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts or walnuts
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Lime wedges for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Make the Pesto: In a food processor, combine basil, nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pulse while drizzling in olive oil until smooth.
Prepare the Vegetables: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and onion with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Grill the Vegetables: Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Spread a generous amount of pesto on each tortilla, then top with the grilled vegetables.
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
