# Solidified Mexican Sauces Joy the Baker's 'Fried Guacamole' Post Hardens Side Dishes By Jordy E | Published 2012-11-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-guacamole References: [joythebaker](http://www.joythebaker.com/2012/09/fried-guacamole/) & [joythebaker](http://www.joythebaker.com) Joy the Baker's 'Fried Guacamole' recipe solidifies the [classic Mexican sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mexican-moles). While it is typically served as a side dish, often used to [top tacos and burritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortilla-and-sauce-shop), Joy has instead made it the primary focus of her culinary musings. This post gives guacamole a hardened exterior. The savory snack was unexpectedly coated in wanton wrappers, making them appear to be little candies despite their [vegetable base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-health-veggie-snacks). To produce these Fried Guacamole bites, Joy used avocados, lime, eggs, slices of scallion and diced bits of jalapeno. Heated oil drizzled on to a saute pan allowed the thin strips to take on their brown colouring and firm texture. 45 second turns on each side was all that was needed, followed by a brief cool down period on paper towel sheets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fried Guacamole:** Reimagining traditional sauces by giving them a hardened exterior, opening up possibilities for unique presentations and textures. - **Experiential Side Dishes:** Exploring new ways to elevate side dishes by making them the main focus of culinary creations. - **Alternative Coatings:** Innovating by using unexpected coatings, like wonton wrappers, to transform traditional sauces into bite-sized snacks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunities to create innovative and visually appealing sauces that can attract new customers and enhance dining experiences. - **Catering:** Possibilities to offer unique and creative side dishes for events and special occasions, providing memorable culinary experiences. - **Food Packaging:** Potential for manufacturers to develop packaging solutions that preserve the texture and freshness of fried sauce products, extending their shelf life and convenience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tempura-Inspired Fried Avocado Wedges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-wedges.md) - [Avocado Gelato Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelachos.md) - [Zesty Avocado Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-dips.md) - [Hybrid Salsa-Infused Guacamoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guacasalsa.md) - [Fried Cream Cheese Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-cream-cheese-wonton.md) - [Flavored Guacamole Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guac-flavors.md) - [Celebratory Avocado Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-daiquiri.md) - [Hybrid Griddled Taco Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quesotacos.md) - [Multi-Layer Mexican Cuisine Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacked-enchiladas.md)
