About

Everyone loves a good taco, and even traditional flavors can be plant-based. We'll create three distinct taco fillings using hibiscus blossoms, soy curls, and potatoes.

All tasty tacos start with a fresh tortilla. Using masa harina, a tortilla press, and a traditional comal (a circular shaped cooking griddle), we'll practice tortilla making and learn the tricks to creating the “puff.” In addition to taco fillings and tortillas, we'll make Jamaica agua fresca and vegan crema and prepare toppings for our tacos. After frying our potato tacos and assembling the other two, we'll sit down to a meal and discuss the limitless options for tasty plant-based tacos.
