Squash Blossom Quesadilla
|
| "Your guests won't guess how EASY these Squash Blossom Quesadilla are to make!" |
| The charred chilies really add a nice punch to the overall taste to this squash blossom recipe.
To char the chilies, simply place them under the broiler until they begin to blacken.
Remove the chilies to a paper bag, and allow them to "smoke" for up to 15 minutes.
|
Remove them from the paper bag, after they have rested and cooled a bit. The broiling process makes it easy to peel the skin away, which can be bitter to the taste, and this method of charring the chilies adds a really nice smokey flavor that other methods of charring don't.
