Street food is so much more than just fast food. The best street eats are not just simply easy to transport; they’re loaded with flavor too. Perfect for feeding a crowd at an outdoor soiree or a weeknight meal when you need to grab and go, these street food recipes will curb your food cart cravings and pave the road to a delicious street food adventure.
Mexican Street Corn
This easy, cheesy Mexican street corn recipe from Lil’ Luna is a copycat recipe from Torchy’s Tacos. You can keep this a cinch by using canned corn, or elevate it with fresh, grilled corn on the cob. The cotija cheese is essential here. Don’t substitute it.
Sushi Burritos
Sushi burritos?! Why haven’t we thought of this before? Rolled up in nori seaweed (or use rice paper if you dislike seaweed sheets), the only difference between these burritos from The Inspired Home and traditional sushi rolls is the shape. Forgoing the slicing and leaving the sushi roll in one long burrito shape makes it easy to eat on the street. Tip: You can pick up frozen, wild-caught, sashimi-grade ahi tuna steaks at H-E-B.
Onion Pakoras

Korean Corn Dog
Korean corn dogs are the ‘It’ food of the moment. Perfect for Instagram reels and TikTok, it’s no wonder the Korean corn dog craze is still going strong. This corn dog creation from Foxy Folksy takes the traditional American corn dog and elevates it to a whole new level! Sausages are coated with a yeasted batter and French fry bits (yep, you read that right!), panko breadcrumbs, and fried to mouth-watering perfection.
Toasted Ravioli
