Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Hibiscus Tacos Delight.
Step 1
Start by giving your dried hibiscus flowers a good rinse to wash away any dust or impurities.
Step 2
In a pot, combine the cleaned flowers with enough water to fully cover them.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Once the time is up, remove the pot from the heat and let the hibiscus steep for at least 2 hours, or until the flowers are tender and soft.
Step 5
After steeping, drain the hibiscus well to remove excess water.
Step 6
Next, grab a large skillet and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Toss in your chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking them until they become soft and translucent, which should take around 2 minutes.
Step 8
Now, stir in the drained hibiscus flowers and season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 9
Keep cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the hibiscus takes on a beautiful deep red hue.
Step 10
While the hibiscus is cooking, let’s whip up a vibrant salsa verde.
Step 11
In a blender, combine tomatillos, avocado, a quarter of an onion, serrano peppers, a clove of garlic, and two tablespoons of fresh cilantro.
Step 12
Blend everything together until it’s smooth and creamy, then taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.
Step 13
Now it’s time to warm your corn tortillas in a skillet until they’re soft and pliable.
Step 14
Once they’re ready, fill each tortilla with the delicious hibiscus mixture, and top them off with some fresh pineapple, extra onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 15
Serve your delightful creation with the zesty salsa verde and a few lime wedges on the side for a refreshing finish.
Step 16
Enjoy every bite of this colorful and tasty dish!.
