Pesto Mozzarella Roll Ups

Pesto mozzarella roll ups combine melty mozzarella cheese and flavorful basil pesto rolled up in a flour tortilla then baked to perfection!

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Place the roll ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush the roll ups with a light coating of cooking oil.

5. 5

   Bake the roll ups in the preheated oven for about 13 minutes, or until they're lightly golden brown on the edges and the cheese is melted.

6. 6

   While the roll ups are in the oven, prepare the creamy tomato dip. Stir together the mayonnaise, tomato paste, and minced garlic.

7. 7

   Let the roll ups cool just enough to handle, then serve with the creamy tomato dip.
