Arepas are the taco-sandwich hybrid you have to try. Fill these crispy corn cakes with sliced meat, veggies and spicy tzatziki sauce—it’s a blissful union of the best tastes and textures South America and Greece have to offer.

In China, these soft, steamed buns are typically served up savoury. But, with a simple dough and classic pie fillings, you can create the ultimate handheld dessert—like a British banoffee pie bao with bananas, cream, cinnamon and toffee.

Egg crepes are just that—egg and crepe batter cooked together, then filled and rolled up like a burrito. Stuff these Asian wraps with regional American tastes like smoky pork, crisp slaw and tangy sauce for a Southern kick.
