Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
First, boil the flores de jamaica to make tea or agua de jamaica.
Step 2
Take the boiled flores and separate them into smaller pieces with your hands (you can also chop them if you wish). Set to the side.
Step 3
Heat a pan on medium with a bit of olive oil and toss in the chopped onion and garlic then sauté for 2 min
Add the chopped mushrooms, sauté for a few minutes until the they release their water
Step 5
Then add the dried hibiscus. Season with salt, pepper, a bit of cumin and dried oregano. Let cook for 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
Warm up the tortillas and serve your tacos de jamaica, garnish with cilantro and eat with a salsa of your choice, perhaps a salsa de tamarindo.
