These quesadillas de flor de calabaza are very popular in Mexico. The bacon grease gives the quesadillas another level of tastiness, plus they crisp up beautifully.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon bacon grease
- 2 corn tortillas
- 2 slices Manchego cheese
- 6 zucchini blossoms
Directions
Step 1
Melt bacon grease in a cast iron or regular skillet over medium heat. Place tortillas side by side into the skillet. Top each tortilla with one Manchego cheese slice and three zucchini blossoms. Fold tortillas in half.
Step 2
Cook until tortillas are lightly browned and cheese starts to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook until the other side is crispy, lightly browned, and the cheese has melted, 1 more minute.
Tips
Feel free to use lard, oil, or butter in place of bacon grease, and mozzarella cheese in place of Manchego.
