Ingredients

  • Olive Oil for cooking
  • 1 medium Organic Yellow Onion diced
  • 1 clove Organic Garlic minced
  • 1 Poblano Pepper roasted peeled seeded and diced
  • 10 Squash Blossoms
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
  • 3 sprigs Dried Epazote finely chopped
  • Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 4 Flour Tortillas (10 inches)
  • 1/4 pound Queso Blanco grated

Directions

Heat a large sauté pan with a little oil and sauté the onion, garlic, and the roasted poblano pepper for 5 minutes, until the onions have become translucent. Then, add the squash blossoms and deglaze with chicken stock. Add the epazote, and cook for another 5 minutes until squash blossoms have wilted. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool.

To compose the quesadilla lay the 2 of the tortillas on a flat surface. Distribute the cheese equally on both tortillas. Then, spread 1/2 of the squash blossom filling over the cheese. Cover with the other tortilla, place on heated griddle on nonstick sauté pan with a little oil, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. When nice and golden brown on each side and cheese has melted, remove and cut into quarters.
