To celebrate this, we made sweet tortilla pumpkin thingers. Basically, you take corn tortillas, paint them with oil, sprinkle with sugar, then bake. In order to make the pumpkins more orange, we mixed food coloring into the oil.
The kids had a lot of fun making and eating them. The pumpkin part turned out to be a bit chewy, rather than crunchy like we were expecting, though. I think this is the pumpkins were actually kind of large, so we could only bake them so long before the edges were going to start burning. Smaller cookie cutters would be better.
They came out SO orange!
