Do you carve pumpkins every Halloween and have booklets filled with fun pumpkin carving templates stored in a box somewhere? Well, go dig them out of storage or find a free one on-line and create something new this Halloween.

Carving a thick skinned pumpkin can be a huge challenge, but carving a tortilla is quick and painless, plus you wont have to deal with scooping out pumpkin guts.

All you need to do to create this Halloween themed tortilla is to find a pumpkin carving pattern that has a solid black image like the witch template that I used ((from kaboose.com) and cut it out. Then  lay it on top of a tortilla and cut out around it using a sharp knife.

Spread something dark on a whole tortilla. I used black bean dip, which is actually more brown than black so I added a few drops of black food coloring to get a nice dark color.  If you want to make this a sweet treat you could use Nutella or a homemade chocolate ganache.

Of course this Halloween tortilla could be filled with just about anything and still look amazing, even if the image isn’t black. A cheddar cheese filled tortilla would have given my witch a cool orange glow. There are so many possibilities.

Serve your Halloween tortillas hot or cold. I heated my Black Bean Filled Witch Tortilla in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes, just until heated through and golden brown around the edges. Tortillas come in several different sizes, so you can make these for dinner, a snack, or dessert.
