I LOVE pesto but I've never bought any and I've never made any. It's one of those things I get excited about in a dish at a restaurant. So, today I decided to make some and wow, it was expensive!
The fresh basil was $4.00 for 4 oz and the pine nuts were $19.98/lb!!! I couldn't believe it. And these are Winco prices. I nonchalantly filled a bag with about a 1/2 lb of pine nuts in the bulk section and thought, hmm, I should at least check out the price. I couldn't believe it. So, I put some back...sorry Winco workers, bought some parmesan cheese and kosher salt and was on my way. Anyway, if you want the recipe, I used this one. (But I used parmesan cheese instead of pecorino cheese b/c I don't know what in the heck that is).
So, I made the pesto, thanks to the perfect little food processor my sis, Faith gave me. And then I just made up the wrap:
Sundried Tomato Mission Tortillas
Pesto
Grilled Chicken
Romaine Lettuce
A fair amount of Mozzarella Cheese
Tomato
Ranch Dressing
Mine didn't look this beautiful but I didn't take a picture of mine
They were amazing. That's all. Happy eating.

Hi Liz,
I also made pesto this weekend. So amazing! I wanted to share my recipe with you because it was delicious, but I was still able to do it pretty cheaply (plus you can't find pine nuts in Budapest, so what choice did I have?) Enjoy!
