I think it’s pretty apparent by now that I LOVE the holidays, and especially Halloween. There are so many fun traditions and activities associated with the holiday, and my entire family loves all that comes with it!!
From pumpkin carving to creepy recipes, we try to get in as much fun as possible and are sure to have at least a few Halloween parties to attend.
We love to serve fun and festive appetizers and sides on Halloween night. Knowing that kids love quesadillas, we thought we’d spice it up a bit and create some Pumpkin Quesadillas.
Pumpkin quesadillas are not only adorable but perfect for the entire family on Halloween. In fact, these would be great any night in October and will be a hit with your kids! It is simple, requires minimal ingredients and is so yummy.
Making Pumpkin Quesadillas
For the Pumpkin Quesadilla, we used the Foldit Traditonal White, but again, any Flatout Foldit works well for this.
SHAPE FLATBREAD. Using a sharp paring knife, cut a pumpkin face into one side of each flatbread. Reserve the larger pieces to create stems (if desired).
ASSEMBLE. Place a layer of Monterey jack or mozzarella on the opposite side of the flatbread (the one without the face cut into it). Then layer with cheddar cheese. Fold the flatbread so that the cheddar is showing through the pumpkin face.
BAKE. Place in the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes. Remove and gently press on the face so that the cheese oozes through the cutouts.
These quesadillas are another fun and simple recipe that the kids will go nuts over! Now, we are prepped and set for dinner on Halloween night.
Recipe Tips
- The Foldit® Artisan Flatbread tastes great as a pumpkin quesadilla, but you can also create this cute pumpkin using a regular tortilla.
- Add some of your favorite quesadilla ingredients such as shredded chicken, onions, diced bell peppers, corn, jalapenos, etc…
Serve alongside our fun version of Halloween Guacamole or with a side of salsa.
Storing Info
STORE leftovers wrapped in aluminum foil or place in a Ziploc. Keep in the fridge for 2-3 days or freezer for 1-2 months.
Reheat your pumpkin quesadilla in the oven or microwave.

These were so much fun to make with my son. He had a blast making them with me
So cute and fun for the holiday season.
Quesadillas!
This was such a fun and very cute idea for my kids! They absolutely loved these quesadillas and I’ll definitely be making these more often! Adorable and perfect for fall!
I couldn’t find the flatbread, so we used tortillas. My daughter had fun helping me cut out the faces, and of course we both loved eating them! I think it would be even more filling with the flatbread, so I’ll keep checking local stores. 🙂
These are so awesome, Kristyn! I love quesadillas. These Halloween ones are perfect and super easy to make. So creative!
Ok, I’ve never seen cuter quesadillas!! Festive & sure to put a smile on any kids face!
I didn’t have flatbread so I used tortillas and they turned out super cute and yummy. Fun idea.
