Tuesday, Nov. 17, 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM. Zoom Class: Celebrating Tucson’s Heritage Foods – Native American Corn Sopes. $40 per household.

Ingredients showcasing why Tucson was the first American city named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy will be celebrated when you cook along with Gallery of Food Chefs Kristine Jensen and Christopher Baldwin with foods growing for centuries in the Santa Cruz River Valley.

On the menu: Native American corn sopes with Father Kino’s black-eyed peas, pork belly and nopalito salsa. The sopes will be fluffy, moist and a great cushion to fill with black-eyed peas and pork belly. Delicious and brightly flavored, the nopalito salsa is a perfect accent topping. Like their taco cousin, sopes can be filled with almost anything so jump on the beginning of a new trend.

You can enjoy making this with readily available products from the grocery store or save time and work by purchasing one of two kits we’re offering – $40 basic or $85 all-inclusive, both with locally sourced ingredients. Click here for the details.
