To make the quesadillas, lay tortillas flat and top each with 2 squash blossoms, 2 mushrooms, and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold tortilla in half and place on a preheated grill or stovetop until tortilla starts to brown, about 4 minutes. Flip over and grill on the second side for an additional 4 minutes, or until tortilla starts to brown. Remove from the heat.
Top each quesadilla with pico de gallo. Serve.
