Get ready for a festive, flavor-packed evening as we guide you through the art of making one of Mexico’s most beloved culinary traditions—Tamales! In this hands-on class, you’ll learn step-by-step how to prepare three different varieties that celebrate the balance of spice, texture, and sweetness. We'll begin by demonstrating how to make a fresh and zesty Pico de Gallo and a perfectly seasoned Spanish Rice—two classic staples that pair beautifully with any Tamale feast. Then, roll up your sleeves and dive into Tamale-making. We'll take you step-by-step through preparing Masa Dough to filling, folding, and steaming each one to perfection. Then you’ll craft three different kinds of Tamales: - Pork Tamales: tender, slow-cooked pork seasoned with a rich, mild California chile sauce. - Chicken Tamales with Salsa Verde: roasted, shredded chicken folded into a bright, tangy green chili sauce. - Sweet Dessert Tamales: a lightly spiced Masa with brown sugar, pineapple, coconut, pecans, and raisins—proof that tamales can be deliciously sweet too! By the end of class, you’ll have mastered the secrets of this traditional comfort food and gained confidence to host your own Tamale-making party at home. Come hungry—this is a true celebration of Mexican heritage, flavor, and togetherness. Viva Tamales!
