Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Creepy Quesadillas
  1. Start by thinly slicing the red pepper and onion to incorporate into your Easy Creepy Quesadillas.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red pepper and onion, seasoning them with salt and pepper.
  3. While the veggies are cooling, take three of the tortillas and carefully cut spooky faces into them using a sharp knife.
  4. On three uncut tortillas, spread an even layer of the sautéed vegetable mixture, then top with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
  5. Gently place the tortillas with spooky cutouts on top of the filled tortillas and press down lightly to seal.
  6. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Cook each assembled quesadilla for about 7-10 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and cut into wedges to reveal the spooky faces.
