Learn the process of mixing and forming masa into the traditional savory tetelas stuffed with queso fresco and beans. Did you know, Tetelas are the only triangle shaped antojo, made in Mexico? These tri-fold pockets pre-date the Spanish and are stuffed and cooked on a comal until crispy. Tetelas are found in the Mixtec area of Oaxaca, especially during the special town celebrations. Agua de Nopal will also be a part of the day’s experience. Guest speaker: Chef Wendy Centeno of Guayaba Kitchen. Chef Wendy Centeno
