I must admit, I found a version of this online (from All You) and think its a really cute idea. I just tweaked it a little to make it easier. I'm planning on making them Friday or Saturday. I'll post a picture of how it comes out for me.
Ingredients:
tortillas
cheese (whatever you like!)
any veggies you want to toss in.
oil
easiness!
Buy a pack of tortillas that are a reddish or orange color. I know they have a tomato based kind that has this orangey color, or you can look around. If you are lucky and live down the road from Hannaford's (cough cough), I'm sure you have a million options.
I believe each pack has about 8 tortillas in them, which means you can make 4 of these. So if you want more then double it. They are big though...
On the cutting board, pile 4 tortillas and trim the top of them with a knife so that you make a stem of a pumpkin. Then cut out eyes, a nose (or no nose) and mouth however you like. Put these to the side. Then pile up the next four and cut the stems the same way as you did for the first set. That is all though, this second set does not need eyes or anything because it will be on the bottom of the quesadilla. You are going to cook this eyeless set on a frying pan in some oil just for a few minutes each and toss some yummy cheese on top. I personally would probably use some mozzarella with maybe a little cheddar or pepper jack. It's totally up to you. You may also want to sprinkle some chopped veggies in but don't go overboard because you don't want to fill these up too much.
Now that you have the bottom of the quesadilla done with some cheese melted on it, you are going to top it with the pumpkin face tortilla and then toast these in the oven just so they are crispy. You will probably only be able to do 2 at a time on a tin-foil covered cookie sheet, so the first 2 should just be covered so they stay warm.
Enjoy with salsa or whatever else you like.... Happy Halloween!
