These Vegan Tacos Are Stuffed With Hibiscus Flowers

What better way to celebrate Mexican spirit than with a Taco de Jamaica recipe! Who in their right mind would not love Mexican tacos?

This is a special taco recipe because it is made with edible flowers– Hibiscus or Jamaica (in Spanish).

Jamaica is a very popular chilled tea that is drunk throughout Mexico as an Agua Fresca, a natural chilled beverage.

It is very easy to find hibiscus dried flowers in any Mexican grocery store and in this recipe, you get tacos and an agua fresca of Jamaica!

There is something very exotic about eating beautiful flowers, and somehow this lovely concept of edible flowers brings a feeling of delicacy and romance to a plate.

The hibiscus flower has a natural tartness property, so I combine it with the creaminess of avocados and sweetness of caramelized onions to create this ambrosial and tropical taco!
