Today I went cooking in the garden to make one of my favorites: Quesadilla de flor de calabaza (squash blossom quesadilla)🌼🧀. I grew up with my dad making these for me whenever zucchini would come in season. This is what a zucchini flower looks like and it’s totally edible. Mixed with cheese in a quesadilla- it is the true spring/summer treat. I topped mine with some salsa and took in the sun for this one. Check out the IGTV video below.
