Recipe Notes


*To toast my pepitas, I position them in a dry skillet over medium-depression heat, too I toast them for several minutes until they kickoff to pop too turn gilded.


*I like to thin out my sour cream alongside lime juice and/or one-half in addition to one-half until it's pourable together with drizzle-able. This is totally optional!


*I like to char my tortillas over an open up flame on my gas stove (real carefully I mightiness add together). It adds a smoky/grilled season which I honey, just again, totally optional!


*I beloved to role the leftover pesto on eggs, roasted potatoes, avocado toast, mixed into rice or cauliflower rice, or mixed with more lime juice too olive crude oil for a salad dressing!
