Everyday Tortillas + Taco Night

Tortillas are so much more than just a wrapper for your next taco—they’re a culinary foundation with deeply rooted cultural traditions. In this hands-on class (with dinner included), we’ll explore the techniques and history behind flour and corn tortillas, using thoughtfully sourced local and heritage ingredients. You’ll make both styles from…

Practice hands-on mixing, shaping, pressing, and cooking tortillas on a comal or cast iron skillet
Work with Colorado-grown White Sonora wheat–the original tortilla wheat used in the southwest
A detailed recipe packet to take home
All the taco bar fixin’s to enjoy a full meal at the end of class
Soft drinks included; additional beverages available for purchase

Please let us know about any food allergies at checkout. This class includes wheat, and is vegetarian-friendly. We are not able to accommodate gluten-free allergies in our flour-filled teaching kitchen.

Who This Course Is For
Everyone is welcome—no experience needed! Especially great for:

Home cooks looking to master a foundational skill
Bakers who want to incorporate more local grain into their cooking
Anyone curious about cultural traditions and hands-on kitchen techniques

Meet Your Instructor
Ellyse Retana is a Midwesterner through and through–she loves to feed those around her and has worked on lots of farms! She brought her experience working in local food systems to Rebel Bread in her role as Bread Lead, and the bakery has since become keen supporters of sourcing sustainably and regionally grown grains.
At Rebel and at home, Ellyse loves cooking and sharing food that puts people and place first. She wants her friends to love what she's eating as much as she does because of where it’s from (hopefully somewhere close by–her garden, the farmers market, or our local mill) and the people behind it. Now you’re a friend too! See you soon!
