Tamale Workshop	back to top
Learn to “roll your own”…tamales, that is… Our 2 day, hands-on participation Tamale Workshop includes preparing three kinds of tamales:  Smoked Chicken with Spicy Black Beans (we’ll be smokin’…our own whole chicken); Spicy Beef and Potato; and Chili Pork.  Green chili peppers will be roasted and made into a delightful chili sauce, and Chipotle peppers will be used to create a wonderful smoky red sauce to compliment the tamales. After preparing homemade masa, you will learn a few different techniques used in wrapping and rolling the tamales in corn husks. You will make, press and grill your handmade tortillas and sopaipillas. Next we will use fresh ingredients to make chunky guacamole and salsa. We will be making several other dishes such as Posole with pork, Beef Carnitas, Chiles Rellenos, and Empanadas.  Breakfast menu includes Salsa Jack, Apple & Cinnamon Empanadas, Southwest Fritatta and Breakfast Tamales. Classes will start on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. with a get-acquainted reception.  You will be preparing your own dinner on Sunday, breakfast and dinner on Monday, and breakfast on Tuesday for a total of four classes.  All of this for $699.
