Squash Blossom Quesadillas

from healthysimpleyum.com

Ingredients:

• 2 packs of squash blossoms
• 6 corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice
• ¼ onion, sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 jalapeño, diced
• 1–2 tablespoons oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Remove the base of the squash blossoms which includes the green part that is rough and spikey. Gently rinse the squash blossoms with cold water and shake off excess water or place on a paper towel to absorb.
2. Turn a pan on medium heat and add oil. Once hot, add diced onions and peppers. Cook for about 3 minutes and then add garlic and tomato. (You can also add shredded or sliced zucchini, poblano peppers, and more!) Cook until the tomato is mushy, about 3-5 minutes. Add splashes of water to keep the veggies from sticking to the pan.
3. Add squash blossoms and cook for no more than one minute. Immediately turn off heat and set aside. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Turn the griddle on medium heat and add a corn tortilla. Heat up for about a minute and then flip over. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of cheese and the squash blossom filling. Close tortilla to create a quesadilla and cook until cheese is melted. Flip once, and then remove from heat.
5. Repeat process until all quesadillas are made.
6. Serve and enjoy!
