Cuisine across Cultures - Day 8

It's Thursday and the last day of class for the week.  We have completed week two with four more weeks to go!  Today we concentrated on Mexican food, from different regions.  We made Sopa de Lima (a Mexican lime soup), Pupusas (stuffed tortillas - two versions - cheese and bean), Sopes (cornmeal cakes topped with sourcream, green onions, refried beans); Tamales - two types - a sweet raisin tamale and a savory chicken tamale; Empanadas - three types - pork, chicken and cheese (these were SO good!)  We also made salsa verde, guacamole, black refried beans and tomato/bean salsa.

All of the food from today's class was delicious!  See from the pictures below... (somehow I missed taking pictures of the tamales)..
