Quesadillas de Flor de Calabaza (Zucchini Blossom Quesadillas) image

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.
