# Mexican Sirloin Snacks The Food Network Skirt Steak Tacos Add a Meaty Punch to Typical Tortillas By Jordy E | Published 2015-05-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skirt-steak-tacos References: [foodnetwork](http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/skirt-steak-tacos-with-roasted-tomato-salsa-recipe.html) & [foodnetwork](http://www.foodnetwork.com) The Food Network's Skirt Steak Tacos with [Roasted Tomato Salsa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-mexicana-roasted-salsa) recipe comes of the creative mind of celebrity chef Bobby Flay. The recipe does an excellent job of reinterpreting a Mexican classic with the addition of meaty ingredients. Pieced together within this flavorful dish is romaine lettuce, thinly sliced bits of red onion and diced avocado. Topping these vegetables via [flour tortillas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuffed-grilled-tacos) are heaps of sour cream, all of which can be adjusted according to desired tastes. One of the most interesting aspects of this post is the use of a 1/2 pound of [skirt steak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-carne-asada-steak-burrito). Typically, similar dishes call for varying forms of fried or lightly seared fish. Flay has instead opted for a fleshy taste here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Meaty Tacos:** The trend of adding meaty ingredients to traditional Mexican tacos presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food industry. - **Creative Interpretations:** The trend of reinterpreting classic dishes with unique ingredients and flavors creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the culinary industry. - **Customizable Toppings:** The trend of allowing customers to adjust toppings and ingredients according to their preferences presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fast-food industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food:** The food industry can capitalize on the trend of adding meaty ingredients to traditional Mexican tacos by creating innovative taco recipes and products. - **Culinary:** The culinary industry can explore the trend of reinterpreting classic dishes with unique ingredients and flavors to create new culinary experiences. - **Fast-food:** The fast-food industry can leverage the trend of customizable toppings to offer personalized and unique food options to customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Baja-Style Steak Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calistyle-steak-taco.md) - [Hybrid Griddled Taco Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quesotacos.md) - [Seared Beef Street Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-asada-street-tacos.md) - [Lightly Spiced Soft Shell Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiesta-softshell-tacos.md) - [Spicy Steak Nacho Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-steak-jalapeo-nacho-fries.md) - [Fiery Shredded Beef Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blazin-birria-taco.md) - [Steak-Packed Tex-Mex Sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-queso-crunchwrap-sliders.md) - [Value-Driven Steak Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-soft-taco.md) - [Spicy Chipotle Chicken Flautas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickin-chicken-flautas.md)
