Demo + Tasting

Location: Kitchen Collage

Join us for a special demonstration-style cooking class with Chef Nela Blanco as she teaches us how to make classic Mexican gorditas filled with homemade refried beans. Gorditas, thick and pillowy corn masa pockets, are a beloved staple in Mexican cuisine—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for stuffing with flavorful fillings.

Chef Nela will guide you through the process of making fresh masa dough, shaping and cooking the gorditas, and preparing rich and creamy homemade refried beans from scratch. Along the way, she’ll share expert tips on technique, seasoning, and how to enjoy gorditas with a variety of toppings and salsas.

This class is perfect for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of traditional Mexican cooking. Come hungry and ready to be inspired!
