Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tortillas (flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free)
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- Optional savory add-ins: black beans, cooked chicken, or vegetables
- Optional sweet filling options: pumpkin purée, honey, or ground cinnamon
- Optional sweet add-ins: nut butter, fruit preserves, sliced bananas, or apple pie filling
Instructions
- Cut out eyes, a nose, and a mouth from one tortilla per quesadilla to create the ‘face’ of your Jack-O’-Lantern.
- On a whole tortilla, place a generous layer of shredded cheese and optional add-ins.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the filled tortilla for 2-3 minutes until slightly crisp and golden.
- Once golden, add another layer of cheese on top, place the ‘face’ tortilla over it, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Toast for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side to seal edges.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm with dips like salsa, guacamole, or honey.
Notes
Feel free to mix and match fillings and be creative with the Jack-O’-Lantern faces! Leftover ingredients work great too.
