Delicious Super Bowl Recipes: The San Francisco area is famous for a variety of delicious dishes, including clam chowder served in sourdough bread bowls, cioppino, and Ghirardelli earthquake sundaes. Due to the 49ers’ participation in the 2024 Super Bowl, only California-style Mexican food will be served. Here are ten Super Bowl recipes that 49ers fans can’t get enough of, including Korean-inspired tacos, carne asada burritos, and guacamole as a hearty side dish.
1. Tacos made with Korean short ribs cooked in a slow cooker
- Commitment time: 8 hours and 25 minutes
- We love it because it can be made ahead and cooked in the slow cooker
Californians know how to combine two incredible cuisines: Korean and Mexican. Here, gochujang gives the ribs extra zing, while bright, briny dill pickles balance everything out.

This vegetarian toast takes less than an hour to prepare and pays homage to Huy Fong Foods, the makers of the best hot sauce in the universe (yes, Sriracha).
5. The Crispy Baked Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
- Commitment: 1 hour and 15 minutes
- We love it because it is beginner-friendly and high in protein
Although fish tacos are more of a SoCal thing, we can’t resist. (Especially when the spread is already laden with Buffalo chicken everything.) These are baked instead of fried for ultimate convenience.
6. Salsa with Avocado, Strawberry, and Mango
- The time commitment is 15 minutes.
- This recipe is a crowd-pleaser, gluten-free and dairy-free, taking only 30 minutes to prepare

7. The Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef Tacos
- The time commitment for this project is six hours
- We love it because it is a crowd-pleasing, slow-cooker recipe
There is no doubt that you will not want to cook traditional barbacoa at your house on the day of the Super Bowl (FYI, authentic barbacoa involves slow-roasting an entire animal), but this method, which calls for chuck roast, is a great alternative.
8. Salsa Bars
- The time commitment is 20 minutes.
- There are several reasons we love it: beginner-friendly, crowd-pleasing, and only 30 minutes long
There is no taco, burrito, or tostada feast without a salsa bar. Think of it like a cheese board but with tortilla chips and dips instead of crackers and toppings. (And don’t forget the salsa verde on the left.)
9. Buffalo wings baked in the oven

- It is a crowd-pleaser and is suitable for beginners
What’s missing from your game day spread? These oven-baked buffalo wings are sweet, spicy, and tender all at the same time, and you don’t need to set up a vat of hot oil to prepare them.
10. Buffalo Chicken Dip in the Slow Cooker
- The time commitment is 2 hours and 5 minutes
- Slow cooker recipe that is crowd-pleasing, beginner-friendly, and easy to prepare
Use your slow cooker since your oven is occupied with those wings. With a rotisserie chicken, this is an easy and quick recipe. You handle the dip and we’ll bring the chips (well, okay, fine, and carrot sticks).
