Gluten-Free Quesadilla Jack O’ Lanterns
It is so easy to make the holidays fun, especially for the kids. These gluten-free quesadilla jack o’ lanterns are just one easy way to do it in very little time. I hope your kids enjoy it as much as mine did!
They can be made with three simple ingredients and in just a few minutes. It’s almost as easy to make as our no-bake ghost cookies!
Can you make dairy-free quesadillas?
We love using So Delicious dairy-free cheddar to make these quesadillas more suitable for those who can’t eat milk. It is made with clean ingredients and tastes better than any other brand we’ve tried.
If you need more dairy-free Halloween treats, I recommend you give Meaningful Eats chocolate almond flour sugar cookies a try since you only need to use dairy-free butter to make these work.
Can you do different shaped eyes and mouth?
Absolutely! This is a great time to get creative and do circle, square or triangle eyes and a happy or sad mouth.
They are great served up with Half Baked Harvests chocolate stuffed jack o lantern cookies. Just be sure to make the needed adjustments if you need to make them gluten-free.
How to make jack o’ lantern quesadillas
- Stack 4 corn tortillas on top of each other then cut out triangle “eyes”
- Cut out jack o’ lantern mouth in all of the tortillas using a sharp knife (Get creative here with what you want your jack o’ lantern to look like)
- Spread a little butter on the frying pan
- Place the four uncut tortillas on the buttered pan and sprinkle cheese on top of each and gently lay the cut tortilla on top
- Cook until cheese is melted (Do not flip your tortillas)
- Top with a baby dill pickle or celery leaves for the stem (or any other green veggie) and serve
What else do you serve at a Halloween party?
I LOVE holiday gatherings! It gives you an opportunity to be with your favorite people and serve up delicious themed food.
We’ve done a bunch of different get-togethers for Halloween with lots of great ideas. Some of my favorites are our spooky sandwich party with the cutest ghost sandwiches, a witches night out with four different Halloween mocktails and of course, Harry Potter party food because we always watch the first Harry Potter movie every October.
