If it's Tuesday it's cooking class!

We had a wonderful cooking class this week. We made one of my favorite Mexican dishes - chilaquiles. The lady who runs the snack bar teaches the class and she does a great job. I think that anybody, even someone who has had very little Spanish instruction, could follow along with her directions. You can see that she clearly has everybody's complete attention!













Learning to make chilaquiles rojos

The recipe is remarkably easy - you prepare a sauce of fresh tomatoes, garlic, chile pepper and tomato puree in the blender, add it to a pan in which you've heated some oil (any oil excepto olivo!), add chicken broth and shredded chicken, salt to taste, then add either home-made fried tortillas or totopos and let them soak up the juice. You serve them topped with onions, cheese, and sour cream. Yum!!

Of course we were allowed to enjoy the finished product after the lesson :)

FYI, I'm working from memory here and if you actually want to make these it might be a good idea to refer to a cookbook ;)
