Jack-O’-Lantern Quesadillas are a fun, cheesy twist on a classic that brings Halloween spirit straight to your plate. With melty cheese tucked between crispy tortillas carved like playful pumpkins, they’re perfect for lunch, dinner, or a party snack that gets everyone smiling—no tricks, just treats.
Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Optional fillings: black beans, cooked chicken, sautéed peppers, or corn
Instructions
Using a paring knife or cookie cutter, cut jack-o’-lantern faces into two of the tortillas.
Lay the remaining two tortillas flat and sprinkle with cheese (and optional fillings).
Top each with a cut-out tortilla to create a pumpkin face on top.
Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook quesadillas one at a time, face-side up, until golden and cheese is melted—about 2–3 minutes per side.
Slice and serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
