Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Squash Blossoms

    Gently wash the squash blossoms, remove the stamens, and chop them. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Lay one tortilla flat, sprinkle half of the Oaxaca cheese on one half, then add a portion of the squash blossom mixture. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil and place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with your favorite salsa or guacamole.
