Mexican Street Food Experience with Chef Thomas at NRF

At NRF we offer more than just a cooking class, we create a full emersive cooking experience where we cook, build, create and EAT!

With Chef Thomas, you don’t sit back and watch. You step in. You cook. You press. You torch. You build.

At Northern Roots Farms, we don’t offer typical cooking classes — we create immersive culinary experiences designed so you leave with your own hands-on experience, real education, and a whole lot of fun.

For this experience, we’re bringing the bold energy of Mexican street markets to life. Guests will mix and press their own mini corn tortillas from scratch, learning why authentic tacos begin with masa and balance. You’ll cook them fresh on the griddle, then build your own street-style tacos layered with vibrant flavor.

Chef Thomas will demonstrate live torch finishing for beautifully charred, caramelized protein — adding that dramatic street-style edge that makes everything taste deeper, richer, and unforgettable. From there, you’ll craft multiple mini tacos using fresh tortillas, seasoned protein, chopped onion, cilantro, house-made salsa, and fresh lime. We’ll talk tradition first — then let creativity take over.

And of course, no street food experience is complete without Mexican street corn. You’ll create your own bold corn cups tossed with crema, cotija, lime, and chili spice — messy, flavorful, and completely addictive.

This is high-energy. Interactive. Education-driven.
You won’t just eat. You won’t just observe.
You’ll leave confident, inspired, and fully immersed in the experience.

Two hours. Big flavor. Real technique.
Street food — elevated at Northern Roots Farms. 🌽🔥🌮
