Cooking Class: Make Traditional Tamales From Scratch
Chef Karen explores the tamale-making traditions loved by families for generations in this exciting in-person cooking class. Discover the many uses of masa in fillings ranging from savory and spicy to smooth and sweet!
Start your lesson with a batch of homemade tortilla chips and guacamole made from scratch. Then, prepare your masa and vegetables to use in fragrant and smoky roasted chicken tamales featuring a kick from Aleppo peppers. And tamales can be a dessert dish too, as you'll learn when you create sweet tamales with creamy chocolate filling.
