Simple tips for making these Mini Halloween Quesadillas
- To make the faces, you can use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to cut out the pieces. One other easy way to cut the mummy strips is to use a pizza cutter! We’ve also used a clean Exacto knife to carve out the pumpkin faces!
- Since these are “mini”, you can get two shapes per regular sized 8″ tortillas if you want
- Once you bake them in the oven, you’ll notice a bit of the cheese will spread about. Simply take your kitchen shears and trim off once cooled.
- Once you’ve baked for a few moments and it’s had time to cool outside of the oven, you can then place your candy googly eyes on the mummy.
