Squash Blossom Quesadillas (Sincronizadas de Flor de Calabaza) are one of the most representative Mexican quesadillas of the season. There’s something very satisfying about the combination of the mildly sweet, squash-y blossoms with our Chihuahua® Brand Quesadilla Cheese that makes these quesadillas a great summer dish.

3 Steps to complete

1

Gently wash squash blossoms and place them on paper towels to dry. Roughly chop and set aside until needed.
2

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a cast iron skillet for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Add squash blossoms, black pepper, and salt if desired. Sauté blossoms for 1 minute. Remove from heat and mix in epazote. Evenly divide squash blossom mixture into 4 portions.
3

Preheat a nonstick griddle or comal for 1 minute over medium-low heat. The temperature of the skillet is important so that the tortillas do not harden or overcook before the cheese fully melts. Brush tortillas with remaining 1 teaspoon of oil. Warm tortillas for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip tortilla and add ⅓ cup Chihuahua® Cheese. Add 1 portion squash blossom mixture and fold tortilla over. Flip occasionally until quesadillas are golden brown on each side and cheese has melted. Serve and enjoy!
