Jack-o'-latern Quesadillas

Do you have favorite recipes you come back to every Fall? It's a tradition in our house every year to make a HUGE amount of caramel corn, and bag it up all pretty to deliver to the neighborhood. This year my air popper died so we didn't get to make as much as we wanted, and only got to half the neighborhood, but it was still so much fun! We carved pumpkins, and Saturday will go to a local Harvest Party.

If you have any fun fall recipes or tradition, I'd love to hear them!

Here's a cute recipe I plan to try with the kiddos this weekend in between festivities. We'll use Whole Wheat low carb tortillas.

Jack-o'-latern Quesadillas

from delish.com

You'll need a sharp paring knife to create the recognizable faces in the tortilla.

ingredients
16 (8-inch) flour tortillas, preferably red or orange
8 teaspoon(s) vegetable oil
4 cup(s) (12 ounces) grated pepper Jack cheese

directions
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.

Warm 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 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.

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. Serve immediately.
