Grilled Veggie Tortillas

MY WAY- broil instead of grill

1-2 zucchini cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 yellow squash, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 red pepper cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Olive oil
1 large tomato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/3 cup mayo
1-2 TBS Pesto
1 tsp Basil
1 tsp Oregano
Tortillas
Mozzarella Cheese

1 - Chop all veggies. Heat some olive oil in a skillet and cook zuc, squash and pepper until tender, NOT tomato. May season with salt and pepper. Turn oven on to broil.
2 - Mix mayo, pesto, basil and oregano.
3 - Brush olive oil on both sides of tortillas ( I place my wire cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet and put the tortillas on that) Broil a 1-2 minutes.
4 - Remove tortillas from oven. Place pesto mixture on one side of tortilla, add cooked veggies, tomato, and top with mozzarella cheese. Broil 1-2 minutes more until cheese is melted, or a little longer if you like the tortilla crispy like pizza!   SOOOOOO good and filling!

THE REAL RECIPE 
Same veggies
1/4 cup mayo
2 TBS pesto (more pesto-ey)
1 TBS minced fresh basil
1 TBS minced fresh oregano

1 - Brush zucchini, squash and red pepper with 1 TBS oil. Sprinkle with salt. Grill veggies over med heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until tender. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes and place in a small bowl, stir in tomato.
2 - Combine mayo, pesto, basil and oregano, set aside. Brush both sides of tortillas with oils. Grill uncovered over med heat 2-3 min or until puffed.
3 - Remove from grill. Spread grilled sides with sauce, top with veggie mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Grill uncovered until cheese is melted.
