The recipe involves thickly cut bacon that's already been fried and coated with flour and egg wash, which is then rolled in [crushed up Dorito bits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-links-x-doritos-sweet-tangy-bbq). From there, the chip-covered bacon is quickly dropped into a deep fryer to adhere all of that delicious Doritos flavor to the [strips of bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hormel-1). DudeFoods describes that the taste of the Doritos-coated bacon is powerful and "sucker punches your taste buds," which could be interesting to try as long as you don't mind your snack foods mixing with your breakfast ones. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Doritos-coated Food:** There is a growing trend of using Doritos as a coating for various food items, offering a unique and flavorful twist to traditional dishes. - **Deep-fried Bacon:** Deep-frying bacon is becoming increasingly popular, allowing for a crispy and indulgent texture that enhances the overall taste experience. - **Mixing Snack Foods:** The combination of different snack foods, such as Doritos and bacon, is gaining traction, creating innovative flavor profiles that appeal to adventurous eaters. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore the use of Doritos as a coating in various products, driving consumer interest and expanding product offerings. - **Snack Food:** The snack food industry can capitalize on the popularity of mixing different snack foods to create unique flavor combinations and attract a diverse customer base. - **Culinary Innovation:** The culinary industry can experiment with deep-frying bacon and using unconventional coatings to create disruptive and memorable dishes that cater to consumer preferences for indulgent and creative food options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ranch-Flavored Chip Nachos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-notchos.md) - [Meta Chip-Infused Chip Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-dip.md) - [Candied Bacon QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-candied-bacon.md) - [Cheesy Chip-Embedded Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-doritos.md) - [Corn Chip-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-crunch-burger.md) - [Savory Cinnamon Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-bacon.md) - [Chip-Flavored Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notmayo-doritos.md) - [Hot Sauce-Flavored Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hormel-black-label-franks-redhot.md) - [Cheesy Bacon QSR Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-4.md)
