Kids' Cooking Class: Masa Tortillas and Fresh Salsa

Join us in the 21 Acres kitchen to learn the fun art of making masa corn tortillas – then enjoy eating those fresh tortillas with a delicious salsa bar, along with a dessert of Mexican brownies with salted caramel sauce. YUM!

Students will experience the process of preparing authentic masa tortillas and two classic salsas, salsa verde and pico de gallo. A selection of seasonal farm products from the 21 Acres Farm Market will be featured in both salsa recipes and self-serve salsa bar, showcasing local flavors and sustainable ingredients.

Each pair of students will share a hands-on workstation and receive personalized instruction from Chef Ron Askew. Key topics include masa preparation; hands-on tortilla pressing and cooking; balancing acidity, heat, and texture in salsas; and highlighting seasonal and local farm ingredients.
