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!
