Moon Cheese Quesadillas

Part of my faire for Moon Day. The holes are made to look like the craters of the moon!

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Shredded Mozarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Your choice of fillings
  • Taco seasoning (or your choice of seasoning)

Method

  • Mix your shredded cheeses together, and prepare your fillings if you have any.
  • Take a tortilla and, with a small circular cookie cutter, punch holes into one side of it.
  • Place the tortilla on a griddle or skillet on medium high heat, with a little neutral oil.
  • Season your tortilla, then on one the side without holes, put down a layer of your cheeses, then your fillings, then another layer of cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla in half, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or till the cheese is sufficiently melted and the tortillas are lightly browned.
  • Remove your quesadilla from the heat, and allow to cool slightly.
  • Once you're able to touch the quesadilla, cut it into quarters from the middle, like a slice of pizza.
  • Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, refried beans, or your choice of sauces!

Tips

  • If you're putting a meat filling for your quesadillas, make sure to cook it thoroughly before putting it in - especially if you're working with chicken!
  • To prevent your quesadilla from leaking fillings and cheese on the hole-side once flipped, place some baking paper on top of the tortilla before flipping.
  • Make sure not to overfill your tortilla, as it might make them difficult to close!
  • You can use the offcut holes of the tortilla to make little versions for Eclipse Tortilla Chips!
