I love street food, and I am apparently not alone. I love Mexican street tacos, and always grab hot dog from a street cart when In NYC. But, I also make them at home, because it is cheap, easy and I can eat in the comfort of home.
I make NYC cart-style hot dogs, AKA "dirty water dogs," but not for a bad reason. The dogs are steamed, which leaves behind a steamer pan of "dirty" looking water. I use Nathan's hot dogs from NYC, steamed, nd topped with sauerkraut and yellow mustard -- classic. I would love to do some Chicago dogs, but I can't get Vienna Beef dogs, or the nuclear-green relish... or sport peppers.
NYC street style dogs (Cream Soda to wash it down)...
As for street tacos, I make them all the time. Authentic street tacos use corn tortillas, which need to be used fresh off the griddle, or they break apart when you eat your tacos. So, I use flour tortillas about 80-percent of the time. It is not a preference, it's just more practical unless you make your own fresh corn tortillas.

So, do you make street food at home? If so, what do you make?
