Description

This quesadillas de flor de calabaza recipe features zucchini blossom and cheese tortillas pan-fried in bacon grease. This is a popular snack in Mexico.

Directions

1 Melt bacon grease in a cast-iron or regular skillet over medium heat. Place tortillas side-by-side in the skillet; top each with 1 slice cheese and 3 zucchini blossoms. Fold tortillas in half.
