Beautiful Squash Blossoms at the Mexican Market

Squash Blossom at the market in Mexico City

While shopping at the tianguis in Mexico City I came across some gorgeous squash blossoms, - or flor de calabaza as they are know here. They are the flowers that will one day turn into a squash. They often make squash blossom quesadillas here, which is one of my favorite street foods. I decided to buy some but have never cooked with them and have no idea what I'm going to make. There are several squash blossom recipes for things like squash blossom soup, stuffed squash blossoms and fried squash blossoms. So you're going to have to see what I do with these edible flowers.
