Step 1
Toss squash blossoms with a pinch of salt and pepper. Layer half a tortilla with a small handful of cheese, then a pinch of blossoms, then more cheese.
Step 2
Fold tortilla in half. Lay it flat on a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and blossoms.
Step 3
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until it foams, about 45 seconds.
Step 4
Sear first 2 quesadillas until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to peek out at the edges, 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate. Sear the remaining 2 quesadillas the same way, adding more butter if the pan looks dry.
Step 6
Serve hot, optionally with crema, salsa, or a squeeze of lime.
