Ingredients

  • 60 g of Cheddar cheese mature; grated
UK Metric Measures - US Customary Measures

Instructions

  • Make the face: Take 2 Flour tortillas and cut some Jack-O-Lantern faces into them using a sharp knife.
  • Add the cheese: Divide 60 g of Cheddar cheese between the other 2 Flour tortillas.
  • Top the quesadilla: Put the cut tortillas on top of the cheese loaded one.
  • Cook the quesadillas: Cook in a dry frying pan for about 3 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Do NOT flip them.

Notes

  • Don't flip the quesadillas when cooking them in a frying pan, as the melted cheese can escape through the face.
  • Keep extra fillings fairly thin so the quesadillas stay together and cook evenly.
  • Put the cheese on top of any fillings so it shows through the cut-out face. Let kids sketch their pumpkin face with a toothpick first, then an adult can cut it out with a knife.
  • For crispier quesadillas, bake them for around 10 minutes at 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas 6 instead.
  • Don't throw away the tortilla face cut-outs. Brush them with a little oil and bake them into tiny tortilla chips.
