This 4 hour workshop is designed for people who love authentic Mexican food and want to learn to make corn tortillas from scratch. We will create masa dough, knead it, press it out using a tortilla press and cook the tortillas on a comal. We will also toast nuts, chiles, and vegetables on the comal. The wood fires we create will enhance the taste of everything we prepare.
Fillings with include steak, shrimp, vegetables, beans, Mexican cheeses.
Salsas and guacamole will be made in the molcajete and can be added to any of the tortillas, tostadas and empanadas according to your preferences.

Classes take place inside the teaching kitchen and outside of the kitchen on a bluestone patio.
