Saturday, October 19 at 5pm
Discover the heart of Mexican comfort food in this immersive cooking class! In demonstration class, you'll start by savoring an authentic street food classic: elote (corn on the cob). Then, we’ll warm up with a flavorful tortilla soup and show how to make it perfect. You’ll also witness a live demonstration of salsa molcajetada—one of Mexico’s oldest cooking traditions, Next you will see the process of preparing hearty guisados (stews): one with Mexican chorizo and potatoes, and the other a savory beef “a la Mexicana” dish, both served in the iconic "taco de guisado" style, wrapped in homemade tortillas.
And to end on a delicious note, we’ll be making handmade sopes filled with your favorite guisado for a truly satisfying finish to your Mexican culinary adventure.
