Homemade Mexican Tortillas

In this culinary workshop, children will make their own tortilla dough, roll it out, and cook it on a pan. Then we’ll prepare a variety of fillings together — vegetable, cheese, and meat — and learn how to fill and roll the tortillas. This workshop is a great opportunity for young cooks to discover the basics of Mexican cuisine and create a delicious meal from simple ingredients.

Tortillas are the foundation of many Mexican dishes and can be easily made at home without special equipment. Children will see how a few basic ingredients turn into a popular dish that can be customized to their taste.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to make tortillas from scratch, cook them, and fill them with different fillings. We’ll enjoy some of the tortillas together, and the rest can be taken home.

Did you know that in Mexico, tortillas were traditionally made from corn flour, while today wheat tortillas are popular worldwide? Freshly baked tortillas are soft and fragrant — completely different from store-bought ones!

Mentor
The workshop will be led by Juš Mejaš, a master of home baking with years of experience at Pekarna Osem in Ljubljana. Before working at the bakery, he honed his skills baking at home, learning through trial and error, and perfected his knowledge and feel for dough, which he later refined at Pekarna Osem. He now shares his expertise through workshops at Center Rog.
