Turn your Halloween snacks into something extra fun with these Jack O’Lantern Face Quesadillas. Each one is a crispy, cheesy tortilla carved like a mini pumpkin, perfect for spooky season snacking. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and festive enough to steal the show at any Halloween get-together.
What makes these so great is how simple they are to customize. Use cheddar for a classic orange pumpkin look or mix in mozzarella or pepper jack for extra flavor. You can even sneak in some finely chopped veggies or shredded chicken for a more filling snack.
Helpful Tips
- Use a paring knife or small cookie cutter to carefully cut out the face shapes on the top tortilla.
- Lightly spray or brush the outside with oil to get that golden, crispy finish in the oven or on a skillet.
- If you’re making a big batch, keep them warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
