COOKING CLASS + MEZCAL TASTING: Mexican Street Food with Erika Araujo

August 24, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

- $79.00

This event takes place at CSI Spadina, 192 Spadina Ave., Suite 501

Mexican street food goes way beyond tacos, but we rarely see the other amazing delicacies featured on Canadian menus. In this fun, hands-on workshop Erika Araujo will introduce you to two popular Mexican favourites, sopes and tlacoyos, along with recipes for the delicious fillings and salsas that make these dishes shine.

Sopes are a traditional Mexican dish originating in the central and southern parts of Mexico. Like an extra thick tortilla, this circle of fried corn masa has raised, pinched sides to help it hold a wide variety of toppings like black beans, crumbled cheese, lettuce, onions, salsa verde and sour cream.

Tlacoyos are an oval-shaped pre-Hispanic Mexican dish also made from corn masa. Somewhat torpedo-shaped, they are fatter than tortillas and often stuffed with cooked ground beans, cheese or other ingredients before being fried or griddled. These tlacoyos will be served with nopales cactus salad and salsa.

Participants will learn how to make the masa dough and form the sopes and tlacoyos, along with the recipes for the refried beans, green tomatillo & jalapeño salsa and nopales cactus salad. There will be plenty of toppings and garnishes for everyone to customize their own sopes and tlacoyos when the class sits down for a Mexican street food feast!

After dinner, Erika will take guests on a guided tour of Agua Santa Mezcal, a premium artisanal mezcal from Santiago Matatlan, considered “The World Capital of Mezcal”. Mezcal is traditional Mexican liquor distilled from the agave plant, a rustic and smokier ancestor to tequila. Erika will talk about the history, traditions and culture of mezcal along with an opportunity to taste and compare 2 different kinds.
