Squash Blossom Quesadillas


A trip to the ferry building farmer's market with Liz is the coziest way to spend a Saturday morning. What else beats one farm stand after the other full of glorious, seasonal fruits and vegetables? After one or two strolls through, not only have we tasted every type of peach you can imagine, but we have answered the age-old question: what's for dinner?


We spread everything out on the kitchen table and assessed the situation. Squash blossoms will play the starring role for this meal:


We figured that Squash Blossom Quesadillas would be the most fun and exciting recipe. First, we sauteed zucchini, summer squash, and onions for a while until they were tender and browning. In another pan were Mi Abuelita Bonita flour tortillas warming up. We added the squash blossoms to the saute, but not until the last minute as to maintain their delicate form. After melting a few generous dollops of queso fresco on the crisp tortillas, we added the saute and folded it up. Basmati rice and beans cozied up as side dishes. Thank you, farmer's market, for such tasty ingredients for Sunday night dinner!
