Ingredients
  

Quesadilla Components
  • 4 medium Flour tortillas Use medium or large tortillas.
  • 2 cups Shredded cheese Cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a mix.
  • 1 cup Cooked chicken, taco meat, or black beans Optional for added protein.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or oil For cooking in the skillet.
Extras
  • to taste Sour cream, salsa, and guacamole For dipping; can tint sour cream with food coloring.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Stack two tortillas and cut them into pumpkin shapes.
  2. Cut a jack-o-lantern face into one of the pumpkin tortillas; this will be the top.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
  2. Place the bottom pumpkin tortilla down in the skillet.
  3. Add shredded cheese and any desired fillings on top of the bottom tortilla.
  4. Carefully place the decorated tortilla (with the face) on top and press gently.
  5. Cook until the bottom is golden, then carefully flip the quesadilla using a wide spatula.
  6. Cook until both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted, then let cool slightly before cutting.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness. Can prepare pumpkin shapes earlier and assemble right before serving.
