What do I need?

Chop the tomato and remove the seeds. Spread a tablespoon of pesto in the centre of a tortilla and top with half of the mozzarella and the tomato.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla to make a square parcel then repeat with the other tortilla.
Brush the parcels with oil and put them, folded-side down, into a hot frying pan.
Cook over a medium-low heat for two minutes on each side until tortillas are crisp and golden.
Leave to cool before wrapping in napkins.

A ball of mozzarella will be easier to slice if you pop it in the freezer for an hour before using.
