In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to make traditional homemade tamales from start to finish. We’ll cover both red and green tamales using a family recipe passed down from my mom, focusing on authentic flavors and simple techniques. You’ll learn what tamales are, how the masa and fillings come together, and the step-by-step process of assembling and cooking them—perfect for anyone who wants to learn a classic, homemade favorite.

From Oscar Ruiz: I’m 34 years old, an Army veteran, and currently in college studying to become a welder. Cooking has always been a big part of my life, and I especially love making Mexican dishes. I’m constantly in the kitchen, experimenting, learning new methods, and trying out new recipes. Teaching this class gives me the chance to share that passion and hopefully inspire others to explore and enjoy cooking as much as I do.
