VS Code nbconvert and xetex

I'm on MacOS and I have VS Code installed along with a MacTex installation of texlive, and a conda installation of jupyter/nbconvert. I have the problem that while I have no problem converting jupyter notebooks to pdf at the command line (running jupyter nbconvert --to pdf mynotebook.ipynb), if I try to use the ... button in VS Code to get to Export, when it attempts to export to PDF, it struggles to find xetex:

OSError: xelatex not found on PATH, if you have not installed xelatex you may need to do so. Find further instructions at https://nbconvert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#installing-tex.

14:12:14.909 [error] If you have not installed xelatex (TeX), you will need to do so before you can export to PDF. For further instructions, please see https://nbconvert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#installing-tex. 
To avoid installing xelatex (TeX), you might want to try exporting to HTML and using your browser's "Print to PDF" feature.

Without doing a whole new install of texlive, is there a way to get the nbconvert inside of VS Code to know where things are?
