20 Food Truck-Inspired Recipes
Our food truck love is strong and true. So strong, in fact, that we’re bringing you yet another roundup of recipes inspired by food truck cuisine. Last time, we presented you with bacon-wrapped hot dogs, falafel sandwiches and curried beef dumplings. This time around, it’s all about the fried avocado tacos, Hawaiian bulgogi burgers and Japanese-spiced sweet potato fries… to name only a few. Grab a napkin folks, because you’re about to drool all over your keyboard with these 20 recipes.
