Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Flour tortilla
- 3 tablespoons Pumpkin puree
- 0.25 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil or butter
- Optional: sour cream or salsa for serving
Instructions
Place the flour tortilla on a clean work surface.
In a small bowl, mix the pumpkin puree with the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cumin until well combined.
Spread the spiced pumpkin mixture evenly over half of the tortilla.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the pumpkin layer.
Fold the tortilla in half to form a semicircle, pressing down gently to secure the filling.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter.
Once the skillet is hot, place the folded quesadilla in the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm with optional sour cream or salsa on the side for dipping.
