Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high.
- Add the cauliflower, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat the cauliflower. Transfer to a grill basket and grill, tossing occasionally, until the cauliflower is charred in places and softened, about 10 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
- Transfer the grilled cauliflower to the serving bowl with the Cilantro Pesto and toss to coat.
- Garnish with Cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
- Add the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, pepper flakes and garlic to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until the garlic is finely chopped. Next, add the cilantro and blend until smooth. Add the cashews and Cotija cheese and pulse until the mixture becomes a thick paste and is evenly combined. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and set aside until the cauliflower is grilled.

Steps:
- This is particularly good with shrimp skewers or short ribs, but it would be at home with any simple fish steak or fish fillet off the grill. I went with a straightforward white wine vinegar here, but you can fine tune this to your own taste by using sherry vinegar, lemon and/or lime juice, or balsamic vinegar.
- Pour the oil into a blender jar. Add the cilantro, parsley, almonds, and vinegar and blend until the herbs are finely chopped and the mixture is fairly smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. The pesto can be made up to a day in advance. Scrape into a storage container and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent the pesto from turning dark. Refrigerate until ready to use. Bring the pesto to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Combine the cilantro, cheese, sunflower seeds, lime juice, and jalapeño in a food processor and pulse to combine. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil.

SOUTHWESTERN PESTO SAUCE
Here's a great alternative to regular pesto sauce. It's delicious, it's easy, and it goes with so many things! Try it and see how many things you can pair it with. Unless you like it spicy, you may want to tame it down a little or a lot. Try it with a little less on the jalapeño peppers, and remember that it will get more intense as it sits. You can always add, but you can't take it out. If you have trouble finding the Mexican grating cheese just substitute it with Parmesan.
