    Candy Corn Quesadillas

    hese cheesy quesadillas are an easy-to-make after school snack that your kids can whip by themselves or with very little help from an adult. Best of all....it only looks like candy! It's a healthy snack that you won't mind them eating.




    2- 10" white or wheat flour tortillas
    1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2 C. shredded mozzarella cheese
    4 slices American cheese
    1 large microwave-safe plate
    pizza cutter
    **ingredients for dipping sauce (optional)

    Start by laying 1 tortilla onto the plate. Sprinkle 1/4 C. cheddar and 1/4 C. mozzarella all over the tortilla. Stick the tortilla into the microwave and cook for 20 seconds on high power. Immediately top this tortilla with a second tortilla. The cheese will act as "glue" to hold the two tortillas together. You are going to form 3 rings of cheese on the tortilla to create the candy corn colors. Starting in the middle of the tortilla, use the remaining mozzarella cheese to form a small circle. With the remaining cheddar cheese, create a ring around the outside of the mozzarella. Finally, tear the American cheese into strips and piece it together on the tortilla to form the outside ring. It doesn't matter if the American cheese fits perfectly onto the tortilla or not because it will be melt together when it is heated. Place the tortilla back into the microwave and heat at 30-second intervals until all of the cheese has melted. ** Be very careful when removing the plate, as it might be hot! Always use oven mitts when removing dishes from the microwave. Cool for 2 minutes before cutting. Using a pizza cutter, slice the tortilla into 8 wedges.

    Makes 8 "candy corn" pieces.
