Authentic Mexican cooking experience made for Aussie home kitchens
You’ll follow street‑style techniques that fit an Aussie pantry and a weeknight schedule. Authentic here means flavour building and real methods — not watered‑down shortcuts. The recipes use simple ingredients and timings that work in your own kitchen.
Hands‑on guidance from a chef, step‑by‑step
You cook alongside the chef with clear, live guidance. The session starts with a quick meet & greet and recipe overview, then moves into guided work on salsa roja, filling and flour tortillas. Pause, ask and adjust as you go.
This is a relaxed, interactive event. It’s a great choice for friends catching up, a cosy date night or a family activity where everyone helps. It also works well as a team‑building event or small celebration.
| What you do | Time | Gear |
|---|---|---|
| Meet & greet + recipe overview | ~30 mins | Everyday pans and bowls |
| Hands‑on preparation | ~60 mins | Rolling pin or hands |
| Serve and taste | 10–15 mins | Plates, lime, garnish |
What you’ll learn in our taco cooking class
This session breaks down flavour, heat and texture so you can recreate street favourites with ease.
Street-style foundations: flavour, heat and balance
Foundation → technique → assembly: we start with a simple checklist so you know what to taste for — salt, acid, heat and texture. You learn to dial flavours and manage heat levels so fillings and toppings stay balanced, not messy. 🌶️
Hand-made flour tortillas from scratch
Learn a step-by-step method to mix, rest, roll and cook soft, flexible tortillas. We show how to keep them warm and pliable during service so your home feast feels authentic.
Traditional red salsa (salsa roja) techniques
Make a classic salsa roja using roma tomato, garlic and serrano or jalapeño — with dry chilli or flakes as an option. We teach the traditional method and simple ways to tweak the sauce for milder or punchier results.
Classic fillings, including alambre and alternatives
Master the alambre beef technique and easy swaps like chopped mushrooms. You’ll practice timing multiple pans and quick seasoning so each filling works as a standalone dish or part of a bigger spread.
Pro tips for building a feast at home
- Practical skills: tasting as you go, layering flavours, managing service timing.
- Make-it-yours tips: turn base recipes into bowls, quesadillas or leftovers for the week.
- Hosting advice: portion for a feast, set up a toppings bar and serve in waves so everyone eats hot.

Menu, ingredients and dietary options
We lay out the menu, ingredients and swaps so shopping is fast and fuss-free. What you’ll cook: tacos de alambre-style filling, hand-made flour tortillas and a classic Mexican red sauce — a complete kit that yields about eight servings.
Vegan and vegetarian options
Vegan/vegetarian options are built in. Swap beef for chopped mushrooms or grilled cauliflower and keep bold flavours with toasted spices and chilli. These options still deliver the same texture and savoury hit.
What to bring for ~8 tacos
- Protein: beef or mushrooms (swap)
- Flour (all-purpose for best results), oil, warm water, salt
- Roma tomato, garlic, serrano/jalapeño or chilli flakes
- Onion, limes, avocado (optional), coriander/cilantro
- Plus pantry basics and a packet of corn chips or corn as a side
Tools for your kitchen
Your normal kitchen is enough: a medium frying pan with lid, spatula, small pot, cutting board and knife, blender or bowl/molcajete, rolling pin (or wine bottle), flat pan and a tea towel to keep tortillas warm.
Extra flavour builders
Set up a mini bar of salsas and sauces, chopped herbs and wedges of lime so friends can customise. These garnishes lift the food and make serving relaxed and social.
Seafood-friendly note: the red sauce and tortillas pair beautifully with fish or prawns if you want to swap proteins another night.
