Ingredients

1 clove garlic, minced ($0.08)
1 Tbsp cooking oil ($0.04)
8 8-inch flour tortillas ($2.23)
4 Tbsp basil pesto ($1.00)
4 pieces mozzarella string cheese ($1.00)
1/4 cup mayonnaise ($0.29)
1 Tbsp tomato paste ($0.07)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Stack the tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds to soften the tortillas.
Slice the string cheese in half length-wise. Spread ½ Tbsp pesto over the lower half of each tortilla, staying away from the edges. Place one piece of mozzarella on top of each.
Fold the sides of the tortilla in on top of the cheese, then begin rolling up from the bottom until the cheese is completely rolled up in the tortilla.
Place the roll ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush the roll ups with a light coating of cooking oil.

Pignoli ARE expensive - I've used toasted sunflower seeds and no one notices the difference. Great recipe - simple but classic & delicious. Next time I'll add thin pepperoni!
