Hibiscus Flower and Cactus Tacos
This is a sponsored post by McCormick. All opinions are my own.
I’ve had the itch to make hibiscus flower tacos for a while now. I’ve had plenty of agua fresca de Jamaica, but I recently found out that the flowers can be eaten too. I wondered what these blooms tasted like so I decided to develop a healthy recipe with flavorful seasoning.
When I cooked the blooms with onions, my kitchen smelled amazing. Indescribable. By adding a tad of McCormick’s ancho chile pepper to the mix, the hibiscus/onion mix tasted like a mild pickled jalapeño salad.
Since the tangyness of the blooms was already there, I decided to add pickled cactus strips to tame down a bit of the ancho chile heat. Queso fresco does the trick too so I added that as well.
I highly recommend this tasty recipe. I hesitated too for a bit but I guarantee you will love it. It’s such a great vegetarian option. It has become a regular meal on my weekly menu. Easy, inexpensive and delicious.
