Mexican street food goes way beyond tacos, but we rarely see any of the other amazing delicacies featured on Canadian menus. In this fun, hands-on workshop Erika Araujo will introduce you to two popular Mexican favourites, sopes and tlacoyos, along with recipes for the delicious fillings and salsas that make these dishes shine.
Sopes are a traditional Mexican dish originating in the central and southern parts of Mexico. Like an extra thick tortilla, this circle of fried corn masa has raised, pinched sides to help it hold a wide variety of toppings like black beans, crumbled cheese, lettuce, onions, salsa verde and sour cream.
Tlacoyos are an oval-shaped pre-Hispanic Mexican dish also made from corn masa. Somewhat torpedo-shaped, they are fatter than tortillas and often stuffed with cooked ground beans, cheese or other ingredients before being fried or griddled. These tlacoyos will be served with nopales cactus salad and salsa.
Participants will learn how to make the masa dough and form the sopes and tlacoyos, along with the recipes for the refried beans, green tomatillo & jalapeño salsa and nopales cactus salad. There will be plenty of toppings and garnishes for everyone to customize their own sopes and tlacoyos when the class sits down for a Mexican street food feast!
The Dep is a unique food venue that hosts an eclectic range of food events.
Founded in 2011 by Len Senater, The Dep is an ongoing, evolving experiment, prototype and proof-of-concept exploring food’s role in building community, creating opportunity and celebrating diversity. It has evolved over the years into a kind of convivial urban food hub where food producers, creators and consumers can connect and explore new food ideas in a fun, informal setting.
To find out more about The Dep, you can check out what others have written (like Spacing Magazine or Yonge Street Media), read some customer reviews (4.6 out of 5 stars!), or dig into my own slightly ranty manifesto.
In early 2016, the Dep extended an invitation to newly-arrived Syrian refugees who found themselves stuck in hotels for many weeks, with no access to kitchens to cook for themselves or their families.
This blossomed into the wildly successful Newcomer Kitchen, a non-profit social enterprise that invites newcomer women to prepare and sell meals in a fun, social setting, while earning revenue through dignified, meaningful work.
