Frida Kahlo's Mexican City Street Foods (Hands On)

With Frida mania in full swing, Chef Robin is exploring the artist’s birthplace and final residence, Coyoacán, Mexico through the neighborhood street food. Coyoacán’s main plaza, cobblestoned and plant-filled, is divided in halves, called Jardín Centenario and Jardín Hidalgo. 

They form a typical colonial Mexican town square, complete with benches for people-watching and gazebos for music and vendors selling their wares. The market where Frida shopped, the cantina where she drank, and the Tostadas Coyoacán abundant with toppings and crispy corn tortillas are artfully explored in tonight’s class.

On the menu: 

• Chicken Tinga Tostadas with Salsa Roja and Avocado
• Pork Tacos al Pastor with Grilled Pineapple
• Tlacoyos (Corn Cakes) with Cheese & Beans, Elote
• Fresh Lemon Ice Cream with Cajeta
