Heat a pan over medium heat.

Add squash blossom leaves to pan and sauté for about 1 minute or until soft.
Add salt, stir, remove from pan.

Remove from pan and place on a plate, top with squash blossom/onion mix, drizzle fresh lime juice over it and give it a big bite!
(this recipe yields 4 tortillas, not 4 servings. I shared with my husband but could have eating it all by myself, so it's for maximum 2 people).
