Ingredients
- Medium or large flour tortillas
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Sliced black olives (optional)
- Butter
- Sour cream
- Milk (or dairy-free milk)
- Optional fillings: diced chicken, sautéed veggies, or black beans
Instructions
- Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter or knife to cut ghost shapes out of your tortillas. You’ll need two matching ghosts per quesadilla.
- Place one tortilla ghost in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese on top. Add any optional fillings if desired.
- Place a matching tortilla ghost on top of the cheese and press gently.
- Toast the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden.
- Cut small pieces of olives to create eyes and a mouth for the ghost faces. Place them on the quesadilla faces while they’re still warm.
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream with a splash of milk until it reaches drizzling consistency. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle over the quesadillas.
- Serve warm with extra sour cream, guacamole, or salsa on the side.
Notes
[‘Don’t overfill the quesadillas to avoid spillage.’, ‘Cook on medium-low heat to ensure the cheese melts before the tortilla burns.’, ‘Let the quesadillas cool slightly before adding the sour cream drizzle to prevent it from sliding off.’, ‘You can prep the ghost shapes and fillings ahead of time for quicker assembly.’]
