6 Ways to Bring Mexico Home — Create the Ultimate Staycation

Being inside your house doesn’t have to suck. In fact, with a little imagination and my help, it can be quite the opposite. While you can’t take a traditional vacation , you can still bring adventures home with the ultimate staycation.

Today, we’re going On-Holiday-At-Home to the beautiful country of Mexico. So whether you call Mexico home or it’s been on your list for years, here’s a roundup of what to eat, do and watch to bring Mexico to the comfort of your own home.

Enjoy Mexican Street Food

One of my favorite dishes that will make you feel like you’re on vacation is elote, or Mexican street corn. It is corn on the cob smothered with a layer of mayonnaise, grated cheese, lime and chili powder. It’s damn delicious and super easy to make.

Corn or maiz, originated in Mexico and is an important part of Mexican cuisine. It has been a staple food since ancient Mesoamerica and was prominent in Mayan and Aztec culture. Today, corn is used for everything from hominy to masa for tortillas and tamales. So eating corn is clearly the best place to start your Mexican staycation.
