Instructor: Austin Coe Butler
Class Type: Hands-On! | These are our most involved and participatory classes, where you get the opportunity to learn a hands-on skill. Anyone can do it, though--no prior experience required to attend!
WHAT YOU'LL GET IN THIS CLASS:
- chef-led demonstration
- make your own fresh corn tortillas from scratch
- build tacos from your tortillas and enjoy a glass of wine or beer
- take-home notes and recipe
Learn to make your own corn tortillas from scratch! Join our Education Director Austin for a hands on cooking class exploring one of the world's most significant foods: the humble corn tortilla. We'll learn about the incredible story of corn and the ancient culinary practice of nixtamalization before getting hands on making corn tortillas from scratch. We'll also learn about other foods made from masa like tamales, sopes, tlayocos, and more. Once we've got a nice stack of steaming hot tortillas, we'll turn the class into a taco party and feast on the fruits of our labor! You'll never look at corn or tortillas the same way, and you'll leave with an understanding of how masa is magical and corn is life.
