Description
These Jack-o-lantern Cheese Quesadillas are a fun and festive Halloween treat. Easy to make and quick to cook, they feature cheesy filling with spooky jack-o-lantern faces, making them perfect for both kids and adults during the Halloween season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 flour tortillas (2 tortillas per quesadilla)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, marble, or your choice)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Stack two tortillas together and cut out a small “pumpkin stem” from the top of both tortillas.
- Set one tortilla aside. On the other tortilla, use a small knife to cut out a jack-o-lantern face. You can freehand the face or use a toothpick to lightly outline it before cutting.
- Assemble the Quesadillas:
- Take the tortilla without the face and spread the shredded cheese evenly over it. If you’re adding other ingredients like refried beans or chicken, spread them on before the cheese.
- Place the tortilla with the jack-o-lantern face cut out on top, aligning it with the cheese-covered tortilla.
- Cook the Quesadillas:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove from the pan, cut into wedges, and enjoy! These quesadillas are delicious served with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
Notes
- Cheese Choices: You can use any cheese that melts well, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack.
- Add-ins: Feel free to include other ingredients like beans, chicken, or vegetables for extra flavor.
