Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Remove the stamens from squash blossoms. Roughly chop the petals into bite-size pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles immediately. Lightly oil.

  3. Step 3

    Lay one tortilla flat. Scatter half the cheese over it, then sprinkle squash blossoms, then remaining cheese.

  4. Step 4

    Top with the second tortilla. Slide into the skillet and cook until the underside is golden and crispy, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and cheese is fully melted, ~2 minutes more.

  6. Step 6

    Cut into wedges. Serve hot with sour cream and pico de gallo on the side for dipping.
