Mexican Pesto is easy and delicious. I used a jalepeno instead of a serrano because I am a wimp and subbed some of the olive oil with chicken stock to cut calories. I served this over grilled chicken breast and it was wonderul. I can't wait to have leftovers later this week
Ingredients
1/4 cup hulled pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup grated cotija cheese
6 tablespoons olive oil
