Uncover the origin of the tortilla during a masterclass
Take part in an ancient process as you grind heirloom corn, shape a tortilla by hand, and cook it on a griddle in Mexico City
More...The Experience
Step into the rich culinary heritage of Mexico through an immersive experience dedicated to its most essential ingredient: corn. Guided by an expert, you'll learn the ancient process of nixtamalization by grinding heirloom corn on a volcanic stone metate, shaping and pressing the masa into a tortilla by hand, and cooking it on a hot comal. Your tortilla will become a delicious quesadilla, customized with fillings and paired with a vibrant salsa that you'll prepare using a traditional molcajete. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
