Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice
- 1 cup cooked chicken or black beans optional
- 1 small bell pepper orange or yellow for decoration
- Olive oil or cooking spray
- Sour cream or salsa for dipping optional
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded cheese with cooked chicken or black beans if using.
- Before assembling, use a small knife or cookie cutter to cut out Jack-o'-lantern faces on two of the tortillas. Make sure to create eyes, a nose, and a mouth, leaving the other two tortillas intact for the base.
- Place one intact tortilla in the skillet. Spread about ½ cup of the cheese mixture on top. Then, gently place one of the face-cut tortillas on top of the cheese.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the cheese is melted and the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip it and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve warm with sour cream or salsa for dipping. Enjoy your festive Jack-o'-lantern Quesadillas!
Notes
Instead of pan-frying, you can lay the assembled quesadillas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil before baking until crispy
