Tacos de Flor de Jamaica 
Hibiscus Flower Tacos
I often make hibiscus water, and I had read that the flowers can be reused, so I boiled the hibiscus, strained the flowers, let them dry, and followed the recipe. My husband initially made a face, asking what it would taste like, and said to just give him two tacos. He tried them with Valentina hot sauce, green salsa, and lime, and ended up eating 8 flour tortilla tacos. We loved them!!!
I hope you enjoy them.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the hibiscus flowers. These are the flowers left after making hibiscus water. Rinse under running water. If the flowers are still too tough, boil for another 5 to 8 minutes over medium-high heat.
- 2
In a pan, heat a little oil and cook the tomato, onion, and chili for 5 minutes. If you don't want it spicy, remove the seeds from the chili or omit it. Or do as I do and leave it whole. Add the chopped hibiscus flowers, cilantro, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 3
Mix well and serve in corn tortillas or tostadas. Accompany with salsa, lime juice, and avocado or guacamole (optional).
