Tex-Mex
Tex-Mex cuisine is an American regional cuisine that derives from the culinary creations of the Tejano people of Texas. It is similar to Southwestern cuisine found in the American Southwest.
Tex-Mex is most popular in Texas and neighboring areas, especially nearby states in both the US and Mexico. But in the past few years, the wonderful flavors – highlighted by heavy use of cheeses, tomatoes and warming spices like cumin and chipotle – has spread from its roots to entrance the rest of the United States as well as Canada.
And we sure are glad. 🙂
