South by Southwest | Wednesday, October 23rd
We can’t really call this a Mexican class because although we’re serving tacos, there’s not much else that’s very Mexicali about them, save a bit of chorizo for flavor. Southwest is probably a more apt description. Let's just say that GOOD by any other name is still GOOD!
Chorizo-Chicken Tacos - authentic corn tortillas, warmed in a skillet, stuffed with fried chicken chunks, then topped with some marvelous additions that we're betting you haven't experienced on a taco..Such a splendid variety of textures and flavors. A different filling from what we normally see on our dinner table. Viva la difference!
Arugula-Avocado Salad - peppery greens and creamy avocado play perfectly with a sweet-ish date & walnut dressing, finished with a sprinkle of queso fresco.
Citrus-Marinated Pork Fajitas - Thinly sliced pork soaks in a well-seasoned orange marinade, reminiscent of carnitas. We'll use a grill pan to produce that smoky flavor, then serve it in a flour tortilla with grilled sweet peppers and onions peeking out from a lovely drizzle of crema (Mexico’s tangy answer to our sour cream,) some salsa, and a squeeze of lime.
Mexican Mac ‘n’ Cheese - creamy, cheesy, with the addition of mild poblano peppers and a few more unexpected veggies. You’ll love this version!
Vanilla Orange Flan- A creamy, cold, citrussy dessert inverted before serving---allowing the caramelized sugars to drizzle down the sides and amp up the flavor.
