About

Chilaquiles is a dish with roots extending into pre-Hispanic Mexico, with its name derived from the Nahuatl language (specifically chil-a-quilitl), which translates to “chilis and greens” or “chili-soaked” herbs. In this semi-hands-on class, learn the origins of Chilequiles, ranchero style cheeses, and a little-known Mexican herb that is key to the authenticity of the dish. Then, watch Chef Pam demonstrate how to make the salsa roja (red sauce) and fry tortillas to create the chilaquiles, while you craft a smoky mezcal margarita.
