Pipe about 1 tbsp. of filling inside. Close petals around filling. Refrigerate filled squash blossoms until firm, at least 30 minutes.

  3. To prepare single serving, dredge 4 filled squash blossoms in flour, dip in batter, and deep fry at 350°F for 1-1 ½ minutes. Place two warm corn tortillas on work station, spread each with 1 ½ tbsp. Romesco Sauce and top each with 2 fried squash blossoms. Drizzle with vegan crema or thinned sour cream as desired.
