Shareable Mexican Appetizers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Jalapeno Bottle Caps Served as a Spicy Snack Option

— August 18, 2016 — Lifestyle
Earlier this year, the modern Mexican chain 'Fuzzy's Taco Shop' introduced a spicy new appetizer called 'Jalapeno Bottle Caps.' With a growing number of consumers opting for smaller dishes that can be shared with others, this appetizer provides customers with a perfect snack-sized option.

The Jalapeno Bottle Caps consisted of fresh jalapeno slices that were battered, fried and then coasted in the chain's signature 'Fuzzy Dust.' The appetizer was also served with a side of house-made avocado ranch dressing for dipping. The dish was marketed as a way to satisfy late-night munchies alongside the chain's expansive drink menu.

While the dish was only available for a limited time, the Jalapeno Bottle Caps are indicative of a larger demand for appetizer-sized dishes that pack just as much flavor as entrees.
Trend Themes
1. Shareable Mexican Appetizers - Opportunity for restaurants to create innovative appetizer options that are shareable and flavorful.
2. Small Plate Dining - Demand for smaller dishes that can be shared with others, prompting restaurants to offer appetizer-sized options.
3. Late-night Snacking - Growing interest in satisfying late-night munchies with flavorful appetizers and drink pairings.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant Industry - Restaurants can capitalize on the trend by developing unique and shareable appetizer options.
2. Food and Beverage Industry - Opportunity for brands to provide innovative snack-sized products and condiments to complement appetizer options.
3. Hospitality Industry - Hotels and bars can cater to the demand for late-night snacking by offering a variety of flavorful appetizers alongside their drink menus.
