The Hispanic Leadership team hosted their last Hispanic Heritage Month event. The event was held on October 14th on CTC 125.
At the event, there was tortas served for lunch.
A torta is a type of sandwich from Mexico that is made of a small loaf of bread. The loaf is cut in half and toasted in a pan.
After it is toasted, the inside of the bread is covered in beans, then layered with any kind of meat.
Once the beans and meat are on, you can top it with anything you want.
After eating, everyone was given a flat, wooden skull that was painted white with a string of twine tied on and an assortment of paint markers to decorate them.
As we were decorating the skulls, they also brought out slices of tres leches cake for us to enjoy.
A tres leches cake is cake that is soaked in evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk.
At the end of the event, all the participants gathered to take a picture and show off their finished skull ornaments.
