With two delicious tacos surrounding a burger patty, this is every fast food connoisseurs dream meal. I don't think this would ever be on my bucket list of foods I would like to try because it looks like a heart attack waiting to happen, but it does look tempting. [Philly's PYT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-chicken-cheesesteak) created the double taco bun burger after coming up with the idea to stack [two bacon-wrapped deep fried bacon patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-burgers) in between two buns. They have definitely outdone themselves with this creation. PYT has taken two tacos with cheddar and pepper jack cheese, guacamole, jalapenos, salsa and lettuce to create the bun. The burger patty is rubbed with taco spices and has sour cream, cilantro and guacamole to make it more authentic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Alternative Food Pairings:** Experimenting with unconventional food combinations like using tacos as buns for burgers presents an opportunity for innovative food creations. - **Gourmet Fast Food:** Creating indulgent and visually appealing fast food items, such as the double taco bun burger, can attract food enthusiasts looking for unique dining experiences. - **Customized Fast Food:** Allowing customers to customize their fast food orders, such as choosing alternative bun options, offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to cater to diverse tastes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants can explore new menu items and food concepts by experimenting with alternative food pairings, like using tacos as buns for burgers. - **Fast Food Industry:** Fast food chains can tap into the gourmet fast food trend by introducing visually striking and unique items, such as the double taco bun burger, to attract customers. - **Food Tech Industry:** Food tech companies can develop customizable fast food platforms and technologies that enable customers to personalize their orders, including alternative bun choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Taco Cheeseburgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-cheeseburger.md) - [Mexican-Spiced Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-taco-burger.md) - [Hybrid Burger-Inspired Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smash-burger-taco.md) - [Double Layered Taco Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-crunch-pizza.md) - [Hybrid Quesadilla Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quesadilla-burger.md) - [Latin Cuisine-Inspired Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tostada-cheeseburger.md) - [Dual-Layer Tortilla Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-double-stacked-tacos.md) - [Layered Tortilla Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-pepper-ground-beef-double-crunch-pizza.md) - [Birria-Inspired Beef Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birria-burger.md)
