]]>Mexico is a fun option if you want to plan a travel night at home, and it really isn’t that hard to do! Check out how to plan a trip to Mexico at home in three steps.
Prepare Your Favorite Mexican Dish
The first step to making yourself feel like you are in Mexico is to cook your favorite dish from the country’s fantastic gastronomical array. Search the internet for the recipe if you do not already know how to make it, and be sure to pair it with Mexican cerveza or one of the many other well-known drinks from the country.
Choose Mexican Music
As you eat and mingle with friends and/or family, one great way to set the mood is by choosing a soundtrack that will make you feel like you are south of the border. Whether it is Luis Miguel, Selena, or your favorite mariachi band, this will help you really feel like you have traveled there.
Find an Excellent Mexican Film to Watch
Mexico is represented on the silver screen by excellent directors such as Alejandro González Iñárritu and Alfonso Cuarón who have brought scenes from their home country that come to life in films such as Roma and Amores Perros. After you have eaten, listened to music, and relaxed, traveling to Mexico on the big screen is a great way to cap off your virtual travel day.

Eat it on a Bed of Fries
Chilaquiles is a versatile dish that can be eaten plain, with nachos or even on a bed of crispy fries. It’s usually topped with a sour cream sauce and onion rings, sprinkled with fresh avocado and tomatoes. Oftentimes, they’ll chuck in an egg for extra protein.

Salsa is one of the main ingredients in this savory dish. While chilaquiles is traditionally made with white sauce, in Tamaulipas (on the northeast part of Mexico) cooks use tomato sauce instead of white sauce.
