Chef Ernesto will guide you through every step of creating authentic corn tortillas by hand. You'll learn about different heirloom corn varieties, practice shaping tortillas using traditional techniques, and cook them on a hot comal to achieve the perfect texture and flavor.
As you cook, Chef Ernesto will share stories from his home state of Oaxaca, offering insight into the cultural significance of tortillas and the regional traditions that have been passed down for generations.
After preparing your tortillas, you'll enjoy them alongside a flavorful meal featuring tender beef short ribs in rich mole negro, rice and beans, and a tasting of several of Chef Ernesto's signature mole sauces. The evening also includes three handcrafted mezcal margaritas per guest to complement the meal.
