Full description

In this street taco cooking class, discover the secrets behind Mexican Carnitas cooked with pineapple juice, cilantro, and finished in a high-roasted oven with Coca-Cola.

Talented chefs will guide you through the entire process of cooking traditional Mexican dishes, sharing insights into the origin stories, ingredient preparation, cooking techniques, and plating.

The cooking class offers a versatile menu of traditional Mexican cuisines, including crafting fresh corn and flour tortillas, homemade salsas, cilantro-lime seasoning for chicken, rice, and beans, Roasted Poblano and Mushroom Grilled Cheese, and unforgettable Mexican Churros with the perfect balance of crispiness and softness.

And, of course, no Mexican dinner is complete without freshly made guacamole – you'll never go back to pre-made versions after learning to prepare it with fresh and simple ingredients!
