Time 2h20m

Yield 6 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups dried hibiscus flowers
4 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
tortilla, for serving
topping of your choice, for serving

Steps:

  • Rinse the dried hibiscus flowers under running water for 2-3 minutes, until the water turns from deep magenta to light pink.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Boil the drained hibiscus for 10 minutes, until tender. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let stand for 2 hours.
  • Drain the hibiscus well. Reserve the water for hibiscus tea or to use smoothies, or discard.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the red onion and sauté for 2 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes more, until fragrant. Add the hibiscus, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the flavors have melded, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve the hibiscus "meat" in tortillas with your toppings of choice.
  • Enjoy!
