How to Make Hibiscus Jamaica Flower Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the hibiscus sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/4 cup dried hibiscus flowers, and 1/4 cup vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for another 15 minutes. Strain the sauce, reserving the liquid; discard the flowers.
  3. In a blender, combine the hibiscus liquid with 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté 1 cup chopped mushrooms and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  5. Add the mushroom and bell pepper mixture to the blended hibiscus sauce. Stir to combine.
  6. Fill 12 corn tortillas with the hibiscus filling. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining hibiscus sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
