Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste. In a small skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and saute the shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Reserve for garnish.
- Place 2 tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet, sprinkle half the cheeses and 1 1/2 tablespoons pesto on each, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Stack the 2 layers and cover with the remaining tortilla. Brush with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle evenly with ancho chile powder. May be prepared 1 day ahead up to this point and refrigerated. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until the tortillas are slightly crisp and the cheese has melted.
- Cut into quarters and serve hot, garnished with the shrimp, more pesto, and sour cream.
- In a food processor, combine cilantro, garlic, pumpkinseeds, lime juice, salt and pepper. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until sauce is emulsified. May be prepared up to 2 days ahead, covered, and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- First make the pesto:
- In a sturdy and large plastic cup put a large handful of fresh basil leaves, 1 clove of garlic, a 1/4 cup of roasted almonds, 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use an immersion blender to blend it all together, until smooth and bright green. Reserve.
- For the chicken:
- Mix together the paprika, pepper, and cumin in a bowl with a teaspoon of salt. Dust the chicken breasts with the spice mixture and rub in. Grill on a medium hot grill, turning occasionally until chicken is just cooked through. Depending on how thick the breasts are, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let rest. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch slices and set aside. Lay a tortilla over low heat on the grill and spread a thin layer of pesto over it. Lay the strips of chicken over the tortilla and sprinkle with Parmesan, cover with another tortilla. Cook until you get color on the bottom and carefully flip it over to cook the other side. Once it is done, remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute. Cut the tortilla like a pizza and serve.

- In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the pine nuts, spinach, basil, garlic, parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil. Pulse/blend until smooth, about 60 to 90 seconds, and stop to scrape down the sides as needed. Drizzle in more olive oil as needed to promote blending. Remove the pesto from the blender and transfer to a jar or bowl.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla into the skillet and heat for a minute on each side. Spread one to two tablespoons of pesto on top of the tortilla. Leave about 1/2-1 inch around the edges of the tortilla (the pesto will spread out as it melts). Sprinkle the cheese on one half of the tortilla. Cook for a couple of minutes until the cheese starts to melt around the edges. Use a fork to flip the other half of the tortilla over the side with the cheese and press it into the melted cheese around the edges. Cook for another minute or two until the cheese is melted through. Remove from heat and repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
