These quesadillas de flor de calabaza (zucchini blossom quesadillas) are very popular in Mexico. The bacon grease in the recipe adds another level of tastiness to the quesadillas. Plus, they crisp up beautifully.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon bacon grease
- 2 corns tortillas
- 2 slices Manchego cheese
- 6 zucchinis blossoms
Instructions
-
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.

2
Cook until tortillas are lightly browned and cheese starts to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is crispy, lightly browned, and cheese has melted, about 1 minute more.
