One of our favorite ways to explore different cultures is through our taste buds. You can learn so much about a country’s history, people, and traditions just by exploring new recipes. 

The best part? You don’t have to hop on a plane to bring those international flavors home! 

So, grab your foodie passport — ‘cause we’re about to go on a global taste adventure.

Argentina — Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri is a staple sauce of South American cuisine, and a quintessential condiment for any proper asado, AKA, an Argentinian BBQ. But it doesn’t only go great with meat! Try whipping up these BBQ Brisket Nachos made with Doritos^®, and top ‘em off with a generous dollop of the glorious green stuff. 

México — Huevos Rancheros

Looking for some bold breakfast flavors? This traditional farmer’s breakfast is guaranteed to satisfy, and you can dress it up with all kinds of hot sauces. For a bite-sized twist, check out this Mini Huevos Rancheros recipe that’s perfect for parties! 

Thailand — Vegetarian Thai Curry 

Want to spice things up a bit? The fragrant flavors of Southeast Asia are a great place to start, and they pair perfectly with Fritos^®,! Try this creamy red curry dish packed with delicious veggies and fresh lemongrass + ginger. 

Peru — Fish Tacos

The ocean is an endless source of tastiness down in Peru, and tacos are one of our favorite ways to enjoy today’s catch. Turn them into appetizers by grabbing some Tostitos^® to create this One Bite Fish Tacos recipe for a fresh flash of flavor! 

Greece — Feta Dip

Transport your taste buds to Mykonos with the island’s quintessential flavor of feta — one of the world’s oldest cheese varieties. There’s plenty of opportunity for variation here, but if you like a little kick, we suggest starting with this Creamy Jalapeño Feta Dip.

Many of our favorite traditions involve gathering in the same place with friends and extended family. But even if you can’t be in the same room, there are still plenty of creative ways to honor and enjoy these time-tested rituals at home.

Here are a few ideas to inspire your next celebration, and to help keep those incredible traditions alive! 

Do a virtual cooking class with your family 

Since we’re all spending more time at home, why not explore some home cooking together over video chat? It’s the perfect opportunity to share and pass down traditional recipes that have been in your family for generations. 

Plan a traditional game night 

Gather your family together for a little bit of friendly competition featuring games or activities you normally reserve for special occasions. A traditional game of Loteria is a great place to start, and creating your own boards is a fun activity for the whole family. 

Create a special playlist 

Whether you’re in the mood for some classic tunes, or perhaps something a little more modern — keeping your home alive with the sounds of your own culture is a great way to stay connected to your family’s traditions. Don’t forget to practice those dance moves, too!

Cheer on your team from home

Can’t make it to the stadium? Put on all your favorite fan gear, bust out the flags, and support your home team from your living room or backyard. You can even try recreating some of your favorite stadium snacks at home!

It’s fun to decorate the house for Halloween as a family, but carving pumpkins can get a little messy. Here are easy alternatives with no knife required that are just as festive!

Paint. Put on some old clothes, grab your paint brushes, and let the kids have fun making the pumpkins more colorful.

Glitter. All you need is some white glue and some sparkles to glam up your fall décor!

Googly eyes. Get some googly eye stickers and add them to your gourds for a comical twist.

Black marker. If there is an artist in the family, get them to draw intricate designs on the pumpkins with a permanent black marker.
