Adaptations and Ways to Serve

  • Lunch: I just serve these alone with some avocado or guacamole and fruit or veggies
  • Dinner:
    • I paired ours with a spooky black bean soup, but you could make or buy your favorite soup to accompany it (see below).  
    • Make it a complete meal and add more protein with shredded chicken or black beans.  Then serve with a simple salad or raw veggies and your done!  
    • Option to add pumpkin to the bottom layer for extra veggies and fall seasonal flavor
    • I love pumpkin and sautéed onions.
    • I used flour tortillas but any tortillas should work

For the spooky witch’s brew – I made eyes using sour cream and ketchup, cut up avocado and put in the toasted tortilla scraps.  I used these cauldron’s but for smaller ones you can get this set.
