Can we all stop what we’re doing for a minute and praise the culinary concept known as Tex-Mex?
I know that many of you think that it is some bastardization of “authentic” Mexican food, but the truth is it’s just as “authentic” a representation of a culinary experience as any other, in this case the first Tejanos who brought their traditional foods from Mexico with them and started combining their ingredients with the eats provided by the Native Americans and Texas settlers, creating a wholly original delicacy that has evolved just as much as our people have, becoming its own “authentic” thing.
