Viva Vegetarian Mexican
This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies at the bottom of this webpage.
Eating meatless Mexican food at home is within reach and delicious! We will make fideo—a beloved toasted noodle in tomato broth; it is just the thing to warm up February evenings. In this class, you will learn tips for making a weeknight ready version of the Mexican caldo with a simple hack. We will also make chimichangas stuffed with chile-laced cauliflower and sikil pak, a pumpkin seed dip with a kick that's a tasty alternative to hummus or guacamole.
