Mexikanische Salsas für jeden Tag
Everyday Mexican salsas
with Renata Lira

Since pre-Hispanic times, salsas have been the most essential expression of flavor in Mexican cuisine. In this class, we'll learn basic techniques that you can easily incorporate into your everyday cooking to enhance a wide variety of dishes. We'll focus on two classics: green and red salsa, which we'll use to prepare "divorced" chicken enchiladas—so called because each enchilada is topped with a different salsa, symbolizing a flavorful separation on the plate. We'll serve them with frijoles de la olla (pot beans) and finish with homemade cajeta, a Mexican-style dulce de leche, for dessert.

Menu (example):

  •  Divorced chicken enchiladas - soft tortillas made out of corn flour filled with chicken and covered with green and red salsa
  •  Frijoles de olla - stewed pot beans
  •  Homemade cajeta - Mexican-style dulce de leche
