Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Add the squash blossoms and deglaze the pan with the chicken stock. Add the cilantro and cook for another 5 minutes until squash blossoms wilt. Season with salt and pepper and let the mixture cool.

Cover with the other tortillas, place on a hot griddle or nonstick ski#et and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve.
