Meet your instructor, cookbook author and chef Deborah Schneider, and make three cooked salsas: roasted tomato and tomatillo, salsa verde and chile de árbol hot sauce.
Turn your attention to three fresh and vibrant salsas that require no cooking: taco-stand avocado sauce, pico de gallo and a zesty onion garnish. Learn which peppers pack the most heat as Deborah leads you through Mexico's most popular chilies.
Master one of the most traditional taco fillings: grilled steak. Deborah will demonstrate how to trim your steak and shares two seasoning techniques: a marinade and a dry rub. Expertly grill your meat to your preferred level of doneness, and prepare the perfect taco as you slice the meat and determine which salsa to use.
Focus on slow cooking as you make these two street-food staples. First, find out what cut of meat works best to make fall-apart chicken tacos and then learn Deborah's secret ingredient behind her succulent carnitas.
Take a tour of the cheeses found in Mexican cooking and then make two delicious vegetarian dishes: poblano chile rajas con crema and an oyster mushroom taco. You'll master the art of roasting and cleaning chilies as well as learn how to cook mushrooms so that they are perfectly sautéed.
What's a taco without the tortilla? Showcase your fillings as you make soft corn tortillas from scratch. Deborah demonstrates how to make the dough and cook it to perfection.
Branch out as you make gorditas, a delectable stuffed taco, and elote, grilled corn on the cob seasoned with butter, Cotija cheese, ground chilies and lime mayonnaise.
