Pesto

How to make Pesto Recipe - Pesto for a taco? Absolutely! You can use it as a spread for any vegetable taco you create, but be sure to try it with the Zucchini Pesto Taco.

Makes About 1 cup.

Ingredients:
2 cups fresh basil
1 cup walnuts (pine nuts are traditional, and also an option), crushed
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon fine ground sea salt
½-1 cup olive oil

Method:
Add basil, walnuts, garlic, and salt to a food processor, and pulse 5 times.

Turn the food processor on and slowly add olive oil in a steady stream to create a sauce. Add more or less oil to reach your desired consistency. A less wet sauce is better for a taco.

Feel free to add ½ cup of grated Parmesan or Romano cheese before adding the oil for richer flavor!
