Texican Mexican
At least anyone might have had a bit of Tex Mex in their lifetime. After all, the dish is not really that hard to find anywhere in the good country of America. But where did Tex Mex come from? What is it? And who made it?
Concerning the who made it part, history has it that came from the influence of the Tejanos, Texan meztizos. Tex Mex is the fusion of Texan and Mexican cooking, a unique cuisine made by the Texans to celebrate their love of food. In terms more understood, Tex Mex is the blending of food from the United States with the influence of the cuisine style of Mexico. Tex Mex is varied and has lots of version depending on which region you tasted the dish.
There are similarities between all Tex Mex. According to a wiki entry I found, most of the dishes use “…melted cheese, meat (particularly beef), beans, and spices, in addition to Mexican-style tortillas. Texas-style chili con carne, chili con queso, chili gravy, and fajitas”. But almost every dish is Mexican in name, whether it be tortillas, burritos, churros or the usual salsa and guacamole. But the American feel is there. You can’t describe it. You just have to taste it.
Another definite trait of Tex Mex food is there isn’t really a singular dish in a plate, what you get are a combination of different items. That boring old steak, when Tex Mex-ed, suddenly has a side dish of refried beans on the side, a slathering of chili sauce, rice and enchilada. We have an old favorite, carne asada tampiquena. You should try it sometime, it’s a fan favorite down in the South.
Tex Mex is acquired taste, but it’s easy getting it since some of the influence is, as mentioned American. Most restaurants that cater to Tex Mex cuisine recieve a good audience, even from out of the country. There isn’t much of a cooking class that teaches Tex Mex, but a good start would be to learn Mexican dishes.
Maybe one day, you could open a resto in the heart of Tex Mex state.
