Divide vegetables among tortillas, placing vegetables just below center and to within 1 inch of the edge. Sprinkle vegetables with cheese. Fold bottom edge of each tortilla up and over filling. Fold opposite sides in over filling. Roll up from the bottom.

4 Return filled tortillas to grill rack. Grill for 1 minute; turn and grill for 1 to 2 minutes more or until tortillas are light brown. Serve with tomato, pesto, avocado, and sour cream.
