MENU
This is one of our most interactive, festive classes, a Prickly Pear favorite, that allows each student to explore their own personal preferences with individualized dishes.
Austinites are as much about our Mexican cuisine as we are about our barbecue. We unabashedly love our Tex-Mex and are constantly leaning on, and inspired by, dishes brought to us by our brothers and sisters from just over the border. We would not be who we are without their influence.
Here we celebrate the vibrant food culture of Mexico with dishes inspired by its flavors, but incorporating adapted recipes for the American home kitchen.
Create your own guacamole “supreme.” Tailor your heat to taste, and pull from a line-up of add-ins that will make your appetizer your own.
Prepare a traditional elote, or Mexican street corn, only fire charred for extra flavor, served off-the-cob, and drizzled with ancho crema aioli.
Then discover how to oven roast chicken thighs, (chef’s cut of choice, for their juice and flavor, over literally any other part of the bird,) until crispy perfection and served with warm, roasted veggies. Swim your chicken in a creamy chipotle lime sauce, served up with a fresh spinach salad with lime vinaigrette.
And finally, finish with a rich chocolate (egg-free) mousse, accompanied with a Mexican cinnamon and sugar cookie.
This is our most accessible menu while serving up a full 5 full dishes! It’s a full night of fun, a hands-on experience that will leave you more confident and inspired.
And then of course, sit, and enjoy your carefully crafted meal.
