A Tex Mex Fiesta


Adult Learning / Culinary Creations -
Winter/Spring 2025 Adult

We'll begin with Empanadas; a pastry filled with beef, tomatoes, potatoes and herbs. Flautas are next with chicken in a jalapeno and garlic paste fried crisp in a corn tortilla. We'll then prepare authentic Mexican rice made 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 sautéed bell peppers and onions wrapped in a warm tortilla shell. We'll finish the fiesta with a Yucatecan-style delight; a fresh coconut blended with rich custard in a wonderful nutty crust, baked to a caramelly brown, and served with creme fraiche.

This class is in partnership with Eastern Carver County Schools. **This class is taking place at Chaska High School.
