Quesadilla Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas
- 16-24 slices of orange cheese (2-3 slices per quesadilla)
- Non-stick cooking spray, as needed
Instructions
- Carve Faces: Use a sharp knife to carefully carve Jack O’Lantern faces on half of the flour tortillas. These will serve as the top layer and create a fun, festive look.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Lay the un-carved tortillas flat on your workspace and evenly arrange 2-3 slices of orange cheese on each one as the filling. Then place the carved tortillas on top of the cheese, so the faces allow the cheese to peek through.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray both sides of each assembled quesadilla with non-stick cooking spray to ensure a crispy, golden finish.
- Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the quesadillas in the air fryer basket in a single layer, cooking for 6-8 minutes until the cheese begins to melt and the tortillas are crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the hot quesadillas from the air fryer. Let cool slightly, then serve immediately for a delicious and festive Halloween treat.
Notes

- Use any orange cheese like cheddar or Colby Jack for authentic color.
- Make sure not to overfill with cheese to avoid melting overflow.
- Use a sharp knife and a steady hand for the best carving results.
