A hands-on class that teaches San Luis Potosi's defining dish: corn masa worked with dried ancho chile until it turns deep red, then filled with fresh cheese, folded, and lightly fried. Participants start by grinding the chile paste, shape and fill their own tortillas, and finish by frying a full plate garnished the traditional way with cream, shredded lettuce, onion and radish.
