Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cut out 2 pumpkins from each tortilla using the pumpkin cookie cutter and set the cutouts aside.

  4. Sprinkle cheese over the top of this tortilla.
  5. Place one carved pumpkin face tortilla on top of the cheese side down.
  6. Once the cheese starts to melt, carefully flip the pumpkin face tortilla over to rest on top of the melted cheese.

  8. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or zesty salsa.

Notes
