Vegetarian - Blue Corn Tortillas with Squash Blossoms and Nopales

You want to try vegetarian tacos Salteado de Flor de Calabaza? Then watch the recipe video in this blog article. YouTuber Arre is known for her delicious Mexican recipes. She prepares Mexican food in such a way, that you can enjoy the specialties very authentically with a taste like from Mexico. Arre and we are keen to bring you the knowledge of these Mexican recipes here to MexicoMiAmor.de.

With Arre's permission we present here the recipe for the squash blossom tacos with blue Tortillas from Masamor, which of course you can mostly get here in our store. You only need a good half dozen ingredients for this, but you still get an excellent pure Mexican dish with blue tortillas.

"The squash flower is rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium, which makes it very nutritious. Today it is most often prepared in quesadillas, soups and creams and stuffed with cheese." - Arre

By the way, the blue tortillas are not colored at all. In Mexico, there are many natural corn varieties with colors other than those of the yellow corn popular in this country. In addition, Masamor tortillas are labeled with the Swiss organic seal and are made from all-natural ingredients. Corn tortillas are usually also completely gluten-free.

Arre points out that this dish can be prepared completely without oil, which is, of course, convenient at the moment. (This article was written during the Ukraine crisis, oil and flour were almost impossible to buy at that time).

 

For the squash blossom tacos you need the following ingredients

 

• ½ onion

• 150 g Mozzarella cheese

• 400 g Squash blossoms

• 425 g Nopales Cactus Stripes

• 1 Lime

• Garlic salt
