Ingredients

  • 16 8-inch flour tortillas red ()
  • 12 oz pepper jack cheese grated
  • teaspoons vegetable oil 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife
  • aluminum foil
  • broiler
  • cutting board

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler to high and place an oven rack about 5 inches from heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil and mist with nonstick cooking spray. Stack 8 tortillas on a cutting board and use a sharp paring knife to trim away some of top, leaving a 1-inch "stem" so tortillas are shaped like pumpkins. Repeat with remaining 8 tortillas. Use a knife to cut two triangles for eyes and a crescent for a mouth into 8 tortillas.
  2. Warm 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add a tortilla without eyes and mouth, sprinkle with a scant 1/2 cup cheese. Cover with cutout tortilla. Cook until underside is golden, 1 to 2 minutes, slide onto baking sheet, and repeat to make three more quesadillas.
  4. Place baking sheet under broiler and broil until tops are golden. Slide onto a serving platter and loosely tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas and cheese.
  5. Serve immediately.
