QUESADILLAS DE FLOR DE CALABAZA (ZUCCHINI BLOSSOM QUESADILLAS)
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. If bacon grease is unavailable, feel free to use lard, oil, or butter.

Steps:
- Cook onion, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until onion is softened. Add tomato and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato breaks down, 3 to 5 minutes. Add blossoms and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Combine tortilla flour, water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and knead until a uniform dough forms, about 1 minute.
- Pinch off enough dough to form a 1 1/2-inch ball and transfer to a plate; dough should be moist but not sticky. If necessary, knead in a little more tortilla flour or water. Form remaining dough into about 13 (1 1/2-inch) balls, transferring to plate, and cover with plastic wrap.
- Press 1 ball of dough between plastic squares in tortilla press to form a 5 1/2- to 6-inch tortilla (less than 1D16 inch thick). Peel off 1 plastic square, then, holding tortilla in your palm, put 1 rounded tablespoon cheese (1/2 ounce) on one side of tortilla and spread 1 rounded tablespoon filling in a flat layer over cheese, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Fold tortilla in half, using plastic square as an aid, and pinch edges to seal, flattening slightly.
- Make more quesadillas in same manner, arranging them in 1 layer and covering with plastic wrap.
- Very lightly oil comal (or pizza pan), then heat over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Cook quesadillas, 3 at a time, until edges loosen from comal and brown spots appear on underside, 2 to 4 minutes, then turn over and cook, gently pressing quesadillas flat with a metal spatula if necessary, until brown spots appear on underside, 2 to 4 minutes more. Serve immediately with salsa on the side.

ZUCCHINI QUESADILLAS
A quesadilla is a tortilla typically filled with beans and shredded cheese then folded before being toasted or fried. Our version features cheese and cooked vegetables. Sour cream, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and bottled salsa make great accompaniments to quesadillas, so serve them on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute more.
- Add zucchini and frozen corn kernels; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is soft and corn is tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro, if using.

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Don't bother removing the husks on the tomatillos--they'll help steam the tomatillos. Place the tomatillos on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until they're tender with a fork. Allow them to sit until they're cool enough to handle. Remove the husks (use a fork as an aide if they're still hot) and add the tomatillos to the jar of a blender, along with the juice from the lime, jalapeño pepper, yellow onion, a pinch of salt and the cilantro. Pulse until completely combined. The mixture should be thick yet runny. If the salsa is too thick, add a squeeze or two of lime juice. Salt to taste. Set aside.
- Start by washing your zucchini blossoms thoroughly. If your zucchini blossoms came with little zucchini stems, cut those off and slice them thinly. We're gonna use it all! Slice the teeny squash or zucchini in slivers.
- To a small skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. When hot, add the zucchini stems and slivers. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the ancho chile powder, salt and pepper; mix. Add the blossoms (flowers) and cook on both sides for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
- To assemble the quesadillas, add a handful or two (always go with more cheese) to a tortilla. Top with a few zucchini blossoms and sautéed zucchini. Place another tortillas right on top and transfer to a medium skillet. Cook on the first side for 2-3 minutes, covering the pan so the cheese gets super melty. Carefully flip and cook for an additional few minutes. Repeat with the second quesadilla and slice and serve with salsa.
