Step 1
Remove the stamens from squash blossoms. Roughly chop the petals into bite-size pieces.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles immediately. Lightly oil.
Step 3
Lay one tortilla flat. Scatter half the cheese over it, then sprinkle squash blossoms, then remaining cheese.
Step 4
Top with the second tortilla. Slide into the skillet and cook until the underside is golden and crispy, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and cheese is fully melted, ~2 minutes more.
Step 6
Cut into wedges. Serve hot with sour cream and pico de gallo on the side for dipping.
