Class Description: 

Looking for something FUN to do this holiday weekend?  Grab a group of friends or your favorite senor or senorita and join Chef and Lead Instructor Jill Garcia Schmidt for an interactive cooking class as she teaches you how to create delicious Mexican cuisine that’s easy enough to recreate in your own cocina! 

Chef Jill is one of our most popular instructors with an infectious personality and easy-to-understand teaching style.  She is eager to share her passion for Mexican dishes as you work next to her while she dazzles you with her cooking skills. Chef Jill will teach essential culinary techniques like basic knife skills, sauce-making and more while showing you how to create a fabulous Mexican feast.

She’ll start off with a creamy Tomatillo Guacamole and Homemade Tortilla Strips; followed up by Pica-Pico Tacos (soft tortillas filled with Chef Jill’s original Picadillo mix), topped with fresh Pico de Gallo and other authentic toppings. Plus, a savory Mexican Rice.  Finally, we’ll complete our authentic meal with Chef's Jill's Sweet Tamales. Ole!
