A riot of colour & flavour — Mexican street food, taught live from The Jamie Oliver Cookery School
A focused, 2-hour live Zoom class that walks you through making handmade tortillas, smoky chipotle chicken and three vibrant salsas, backed by a prep sheet and a digital recipe pack so you can recreate the menu at home.
A riot of colour & flavour — Mexican street food, taught live from The Jamie Oliver Cookery School.
This online class condenses the pulse and immediacy of a London street-food stall into a hands-on Zoom kitchen: over two hours an expert teaching chef from The Jamie Oliver Cookery School guides you step by step as you knead tortillas, build smoky chipotle chicken and smash up a trio of fresh salsas before sitting down at your own table to eat what you’ve made.

Handmade tortillas and a smoky chipotle centrepiece
The class focuses on the tactile skills — making tortillas from scratch and preparing sticky, smoked chipotle chicken — then layers those foundations with smashed guacamole, pico de gallo and a roasted-corn salsa for a compact, flavour-forward meal.
Knife skills, charring and sauce-building
Beyond the recipes, the session drills core techniques: marinating and charring chicken, dry-frying corn to coax sweetness, and sharpening knife work for bright, balanced salsas — all demonstrated live so you can ask questions in real time.
Interactive learning from your own kitchen
Delivered via Zoom, the class is an interactive workshop: chefs lead live demos, students set up a home station with an ingredient prep sheet, and everyone eats together at the end — a communal cooking experience recreated remotely.

The flow is brisk and practical: first you set up with a prep sheet and ingredients, then you follow live demos as the chef takes you through marinating and cooking the chicken, making three salsas and constructing tortillas; questions are welcome throughout, and the session ends with a shared moment — tucking into the meal you’ve just built.
