Hydrate the hibiscus in boiling water for ten minutes. Remove from water and drain. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil and brown the quartered tomatillo as well as the chopped garlic cloves. Remove from heat and blend. In the same skillet, brown the red onion with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once well browned, add the hibiscus and cook for 30 more seconds. Add the green tomato broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Place 2 tablespoons of the mixture in each previously warmed tortilla and serve. Blend the avocado, water, lime juice, cilantro, and salt for the salsa.
