Directions
- To make pico de gallo sauce:
- Combine all ingredients specified for the sauce.
- Let sit for at least a half hour so flavors will blend. Set aside.
- To make pesto:
- Put cilantro and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
- With machine on, gradually add olive oil. Season and blend in cheese. Set aside.
- To make filling:
- Slice enough onion to equal about 1/2 cup. Sauté with margarine in a small cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook past translucent stage until browned, about six to eight minutes.
- Prepare about 2 cups of vegetables -- the combination depends on personal taste.
- Cook all vegetables except mushrooms in lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of pesto over medium to medium-high heat.
- When almost at al-dente stage, add sliced mushrooms.
- Continue cooking for about one minute.
- The remaining pesto can be refrigerated or frozen for future use.
- Place vegetable mixture over sizzling onions, then spoon vegetable-onion mixture into center of warmed tortillas.
- Top with condiments, to taste, then roll up tortillas.
- Three tortillas make one very generous portion.
