Notes

To ensure your Jack-O'-Lantern Quesadillas turn out perfectly, consider these pro-tips:
- Substitutions: Try adding some cooked chicken or beans for protein, keeping everything Halal-friendly.
- Timing: Maintain the right skillet temperature to avoid burnt tortillas while ensuring that the cheese melts to a perfect consistency.
- Avoid overfilling your quesadilla as it could fall apart when cooking.
