Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Place a tortilla on a cutting board. Scatter half the squash blossoms and cheese on one half, then fold in half. Repeat with a second tortilla.

  3. Step 3

    Slide both quesadillas into the skillet. Cook 2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until the second side crisps and cheese melts.

  4. Step 4

    While quesadillas cook, bake fries in an air fryer at 400°F for 10 minutes, or pan-fry them in a second skillet until golden.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer quesadillas to a plate. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot alongside the fries.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch skillet
  • cutting board
  • air fryer or second skillet (for fries)
