Dive into the world of creating a masterful FIESTA where everything from the Churros, the Corn Tortillas, and
everything in between, even the spice mix is handcrafted from SCRATCH! You have only TRULY experienced tacos
if you have enjoyed them with handcrafted corn tortillas. A RESTAURANT QUALITY, homemade fiesta PACKED
with PROTIEN, and NATURALLY GLUTEN FREE (CORN tortillas, are made with CORN)! Store bought tortillas will
become a thing of the past, and your favorite tacos will be the ones YOU make! The only thing missing from this
fiesta will be lively music and a piñata unless you bring those to the party too!
On the Menu: Delicate and delightful Churros that are crispy on the outside, soft-and fluffy-on-the-inside,
coated in warm sweet spice, and dunked in luscious velvety chocolate sauce! Handcrafted corn tortillas that are
naturally gluten free, over-the-top guacamole, taco meat seasoned to perfection with homemade taco
seasoning and delicious re-fried beans that are NOTHING LIKE THE CANNED!
High Protein / Gluten Free version: Everything on the menu apart from the Churros can be considered high
protein and Gluten Free

Instructor biography: Tess Georgakopoulos, also known as “Chef Tess—Culinary Artist”, has been cooking and baking for well over 45 years since she was roughly 6 years old. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using one's own hands and creativity was and continues to be an expression of love in her home. Her father was also a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form on the weekends as they cooked elaborate family meals together. As an accomplished cook and baker and always working towards expanding her culinary repertoire, Tess enjoys experimenting in her test kitchen daily creating new recipes, creative culinary techniques and building “Gold Standard” culinary experiences for communities across Minnesota and beyond. Tess is proficient and experienced in creating cook-along experiences and curriculum for conventional cooking, baking, pressure-cooking, air frying, pizza making, Mediterranean Cooking, and meal preparation as well. More recently, she has expanded her creativity and experience in the creation of Cooking Master Classes! A Culinary Artist indeed! She has been teaching both in-person and on-line cooking classes through community education for a number of years, and is currently working with almost 60 public school districts in and around the Twin Cities, in many corners of Minnesota, in addition to school districts in Wisconsin, Missouri, New York, and Oklahoma, having worked with just over 5000 participants over the years. Through her teaching, Tess has helped people of all skill levels increase their confidence and expand their skills in the kitchen reaching heights of their own personal creativity that they never knew existed, all while having fun and creating memories to last a lifetime. Her motto, eloquently put, is to make “dishing” delicious, and simple. Tess has recently started writing her first cookbook, and her food blog is also in the works! Some of her creations can be seen on her Facebook page, “Dish it up Good”, https://www.facebook.com/dishitupgood/ or on her Instagram Feed.
