$75 Non-Member / $60 Member
Learn the fascinating yet simple process for turning dry corn into soft fluffy tortillas in this hands-on class. The class will take the grain through the process of nixtamalizacion, grinding into dough, pressing and cooking the tortillas. The best part of the class is of course being able to enjoy the tortillas resulting from this wonderful process.
