Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 large carrots, grated
1/2 cup grated jicama
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp ground dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lb ripe plum tomatoes, cored, halved
1/2 white onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 large dried bay leaves
kosher salt
vegetable oil
12 6 corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream
1 cup thinly sliced purple cabbage
1/2 cup cotija cheese or feta, crumbled

Directions:

Filling Bring hibiscus flowers and 2 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from heat; let steep until flowers are just tender, 58 minutes. Strain; reserve flowers. Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat; add onion and sauté until soft but not brown. Add reserved hibiscus flowers, carrots, and next 4 ingredients; cook, stirring often, until carrots are soft and liquid evaporates, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Chipotle Sauce Combine the first 4 ingredients and 2 cups water in a pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to fall apart, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a blender; purée until smooth. Wipe out pot; add oil and heat over medium-high heat. When oil begins to smoke, carefully add purée and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.
Assembly Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/4 ; heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, submerge tortillas and cook, turning once, until they soften, 3045 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Put 1/4 cup of filling in center of each tortilla; roll to enclose. Place 2 enchiladas on each plate. Smother with chipotle sauce and garnish with sour cream, cabbage, and Cotija cheese.
