Ingredients
8 ounces dried hibiscus flowers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Salsa Verde:
10 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 avocado – peeled, pitted, and diced
¼ onion, chopped
2 serrano peppers
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt to taste
18 corn tortillas
Garnish:
2 slices fresh pineapple, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
2 limes, cut into wedges
Directions
Rinse hibiscus very well to make sure all dust is removed. Place clean hibiscus in a pot over medium heat, cover with water, and boil for 10 minutes. Remove hibiscus from heat and allow to steep for at least 2 hours, until hibiscus is very soft. Drain well.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook 1 onion and 2 cloves garlic until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in drained hibiscus and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until hibiscus turns a deep red color.
Combine tomatillos, avocado, 1/4 onion, serrano peppers, 1 clove garlic, and 2 tablespoons cilantro; blend until smooth. Season salsa verde with salt.
Warm corn tortillas in a skillet. Divide hibiscus mixture amongst tortillas and top with pineapple, onion, and cilantro. Serve with salsa verde and lime.
Recipe Tip
You can use the liquid from soaking the hibiscus to make hibiscus agua fresca.
