Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Creative Alliance’s CIELO Artesanas! Join us for a hands-on workshop where a CIELO artesana will teach you how to make two favorite Mexican antojitos (snacks) completely from scratch. In this workshop, you will learn how to make the following:
- Sopes: Thick masa cakes that are griddled or fried, filled with beans and meat, and piled high with your choice of toppings
- Tacos Dorados: Crispy, rolled and fried tacos (also known as flautas or taquitos) filled with chicken or ham and topped with ingredients of your choice.
- Traditional accompaniments like fresh salsa and guacamole
You’ll mix and shape the dough for your sopes, fry your tacos to perfection and enjoy your creations together in good company at the end of class. Bring your appetite and curiosity to dive into the world of Mexican comfort food favorites!
