Fun Street Foods to Make This Week

Sunday, 27 January 2019

Looking for something different to serve to your family and friends at a party this weekend?  Well, look no further.  Today we are going to look at some popular street food ideas which will be ideal for serving at a get-together or a party this month. 

Nachos

Nachos are a classic party food, and they are friendly for these kind of gatherings because you can make lots of mini portions and have people hold them in a bowl or on a plate.  Nachos are super easy to make and can be customised however you want for your own taste.  Generally, though, this is what we put on nachos:

Tortilla chips

Cheese or cheese sauce

Guacamole

Salsa

Sour cream

Meat ( beef or chicken)

Chillies

Coriander

You can play around with these ingredients and make up your own ideal combination this week. 

Avocado On Toast

Avocado on toast for some reason seems to be the meal most associated with millennials.  While it’s true that this has risen in popularity a lot recently, it has always been a great choice for a snack at a party.  This is because you can add whatever you want to avocado on toast for your own personal taste.  You could add some feta, tomatoes, chickpeas, radishes, chicken, bacon and much more.  It can be whatever you make it which is ideal for get-togethers. 

Yorkshire Pudding Burrito

If you don’t know what a Yorkshire pudding burrito is, you’ve never seen street food.  When it comes to innovative ideas on the street, there can be nothing which compares to this.  It consists of a roast dinner wrapped up in a giant Yorkshire pudding, served with gravy to dip.  It’s heaven for many of us, and it can be a super fun talking point and a great recipe to try out on your friends and family. 

Who doesn’t love jerk chicken?  This Jamaican spiced chicken is hugely popular as street food and it is usually served with some coconut rice to offset all of the spice.  If you love chicken and a combination of flavours, this is the ideal dish to make for a party or even for a summer barbecue. 

Tacos

Tacos have to be one of the best meals to make for a crowd because you can simply lay out a lot of different ingredients and let people make their own choices.  Tacos can be a great street food option, and you can make them as complex or simple as you want.  Go for the traditional asada, cilantro, and onions or try some of these other fun toppings:

As you prepare these tacos for your guests, you can make everything apart from the meats the night before and leave them in the fridge.  Try to heat up the meat an hour or so before you serve, and this will allow them to be warm when people come and try your food.  It can be a no-fuss meal for everyone to enjoy.
