Squash Blossom Quesadilla

Pretty? Wanna look a little closer?




How 'bout from this angle?

Yes, the squash blossom madness continues with squash blossom quesadillas. Or is it quesadillas de flor de la calabazas? Ah, my Spanish is very rusty.


Squash Blossom Quesadilla

For 1 quesadilla (but I know you'll want to make more than 1), you'll need:
1 large flour tortilla
3 or so squash blossoms
1 tblsp cottage cheese, or queso fresco, or any soft white cheese
A few sprinkles of cheddar cheese
1 tblsp salsa

Look! I made another video, with just one minor kitchen mishap. What can I say? Filming and cooking at the same time can be a bit challenging. Or scroll past the video for directions.



In a saute pan on medium heat, brown tortilla and then flip. On one half of the tortilla, add squash blossoms (I like to leave the petals facing outside.), a spoonful of cottage cheese, or queso fresco, or any white cheese, and a scoop of salsa. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to seal in the heat.

Ta da! These were so very light. I could taste the delicacy of the squash blossoms, and the lighter cottage cheese and salsa complemented them perfectly.

Enjoy!
