Prepare the pistachio pesto by adding all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blending until smooth.
Assemble your wraps by spreading 1-2 tbsp of pistachio pesto in the center, topped with a few slices of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, avocados and salt and pepper. Fold in the sides of the wrap over the center then folder over the bottom and roll up.
