Mexican Street Food Cooking Class in Sofia

Discover flavours beyond the tourist trail with a Mexican street food cooking class in Sofia. Over 2 hours and 30 minutes, you will prepare characteristic Mexican dishes, learn more about them and finish by tasting what you have made.

Explore Mexican culture through street food

One way to get closer to a country's culture is to explore what people eat away from its tourist districts. This class turns your curiosity towards traditional and popular Mexican recipes found both at street food stalls and in many local eateries.

Rather than simply hearing about the dishes, you will take part in making them. The course combines an introduction to the subject, its history and the different forms of the dishes with practical work in a teaching kitchen, detailed guidance and time to eat together afterwards.

The dishes you will prepare

• Chicken tamales — a well-known Mexican dish. Think of filled corn dough parcels, rather like little savoury corn cakes or stuffed rolls: they are wrapped in corn husks and cooked by steaming.
• Tacos with minced meat and vegetables — you will make tortillas, then fill them with a juicy meat and vegetable mixture.
• Elote — a simple but popular Mexican street food dish of roasted corn with mayonnaise, cheese, chilli and lime.

Once the work at the kitchen counter is done, it is time to sit down and try the dishes prepared during the class. The experience brings together the enjoyment of making food and the pleasure of sharing it.

What your participation includes

• A place for one person in a cooking class lasting 2 hours and 30 minutes.
• Qualified instructors and a themed presentation covering history, forms of the dishes and preparation methods.
• All ingredients needed for the course recipes.
• Detailed instructions, recipes and cooking tips.
• Use of the teaching kitchen and its facilities for the duration of the class.
• Coffee, tea and mineral water.
• Eating the dishes prepared during the session.

The cooking school states that it uses only high-quality ingredients in its classes.
