If you like discovering different flavors in Mexico City, this foodie plan may interest you. For several days in March, there will be a tasting of hibiscus tinga tostadas in the heart of the Historic Center, and best of all, the cost is quite affordable.
The idea is to try a different version of one of the most beloved dishes in Mexican cuisine.
Instead of chicken, the recipe uses hibiscus flowers, which are cooked with tomatoes, onions, and spices to create a tinga with an intense and slightly acidic flavor.
The result is a fresh dish, full of flavor and perfect for those looking for vegetarian options or simply wanting to try something new.
The tasting will cost $30 pesos, so it’s a good excuse to take a stroll through the Historic Center and enjoy a different kind of snack.
When and where will the tasting take place?
You can attend from Tuesday to Saturday, March 3 to 14, at Seminario 18, in the Historic Center.
The hours will be from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., so you can stop by to try them after breakfast or before lunch while you explore the area.
These types of activities often seek to promote gastronomic alternatives and show how traditional ingredients can be transformed into creative recipes. In this case, hibiscus takes center stage in a dish that is becoming increasingly popular in the city.
If you’ve never tried tinga made with this flower, this is a great opportunity to discover its flavor and see why it has become an increasingly popular option in Mexico City’s vegan and vegetarian cuisine.
