Saturday Snack {Mexican Street Corn}

Last night my friend Heather and I went to a cooking class in Albany.  It was her birthday present to me and it was the perfect gift because I love cooking.  The cooking school we went to has a ton of classes.  I’ve done other classes there before and I always love going because I learn something new every single time.  I picked a Mexican class for us to do for my birthday.

 Our teacher was so great.  She was laid back and super helpful and it made for a fun experience.  She teaches a lot of the ethnic classes so I’d love to go back and take another one of her classes.

 We made so many things including-a Mexican salad, smoky black beans, lime chicken, homemade corn tortillas,  salsa and guacamole.  My absolute favorite thing we made however was the Mexican street corn.  It was absolutely delicious and I will be making it this summer for barbecues.

Here is the recipe.  I will be adding this to my recipe book and making this one a lot!!!   Since it’s winter we used frozen corn and it came out super yummy.  I think it would be delicious with fresh corn in the summer.  The Mexican Chocolate pudding was good too.  I’m just not a chocolate lover so it wasn’t my favorite thing we made. 

Here are some pictures of the other things we made.

Our favorite part was making homemade tortillas.  It really is an art.  We spent a lot of time trying to make them and I still have a lot to learn.  I was super tempted to buy the tortilla press but I resisted.  I honestly think I’ll just buy corn tortillas in the store. It was fun making them though. 

After we cooked everything we sat down and had a feast!  Here is my plate. 

It was a great night!!
