Pumpkin Seed Basil Pesto Grilled Mushroom Sandwich

Once they found out I was plant-based, they told me to just bring the ice to the bbq Part 2. The last video I posted, so many people were mad at me for not bringing the ice; but I brought this delicious dish. This is part two. Trust me, this sandwich is so flavorful and made for everyone with this pumpkin seed basil pesto sauce, red onions, mozzarella, thinly sliced banana peppers, microgreens, and grilled to perfection plant-based mushrooms. It would be mad if I brought this to the BBQ instead of ice. You never know; I might have ice in the trunk and a chest still.
