A Tex Mex Fiesta


Adult and Senior / Cooking -
Adult Enrichment 2024-2025

In this hands-on cooking class we'll begin with Empanadas, pastries filled with beef, tomatoes, potatoes and herbs. Flautas are next with chicken in a jalapeno/garlic paste and fried crisp in corn tortillas. We'll then prepare authentic Mexican rice prepared with onions, garlic, tomatoes and fresh cilantro along with Mexican style corn prepared with lime aioli, cayenne pepper and Cotija cheese. Fajitas follow with tender strips of marinated beef and chicken with fresh sauteed bell peppers and onions wrapped in a warm tortilla shell. We’ll finish this fiesta with a Yucatecan-style delight, fresh coconut blended with rich custard in a wonderful nutty crust, baked to a caramelly brown and served with crème fraȋche.

This class is held in partnership with Wayzata Community Education and will take place at Wayzata Central Middle School, address and room information will be included in your course confirmation email.
