Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or orange cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
Instructions
- On one tortilla, use a small knife or cookie cutters to carefully cut out a jack-o’-lantern face (eyes, nose, and mouth).
- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the uncut tortilla in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the uncut tortilla.
- Place the tortilla with the cut-out face on top of the cheese.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and visible through the cut-out face.
- Slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board, cut into wedges, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For easier cutting, you can lightly toast the tortilla before cutting the face.
- Ensure the cheese melts enough to show through the cut-out shapes.
- Serve with your favorite quesadilla toppings like salsa or sour cream.
