Yes but what's the difference between mexican cuisine and tex mex, for instance?

Tex-Mex is a fusion of Mexican and American cuisine, largely as a result of Tejano culture (Texans of Mexican heritage). It first came into existence when settlers began moving into what is now Texas and encountered Mexican culture. As more Americans settled in the area, Mexican food became more and more popular, and they began adding their own twists (like using ground beef).

The most notable difference between Tex-Mex and Mexican food is the difference in ingredients used. One of the definite marks of Tex-Mex is the use of yellow cheese. In Mexico, only white cheese is used, so if you see some cheddar on your plate you know it's Tex-Mex!

Another distinction between Tex-Mex vs Mexican food is in the spices used to flavor the food. Cumin is used all the time in Tex-Mex.

Tex-Mex doesn't have many variations in its cuisine, but it's a delicious blend of cultures. Many of its foods are staples in restaurants, like queso. Other well known dishes include: chili con carne, which is spicy stew made with ground beef, beans, and tomatoes; fajitas, which is grilled meat and veggies; and chimichangas, which are deep-fried burritos.

Yeah but as I said, it's previous recipes with added extras

It doesn't have to be a bad thing, just a show of how many cultures are mixed in America (though it would be good if recipes were a little bit healthier...). That said, maybe native Americans have native dishes? I'm curious

Hey that sounds pretty damn nice I'll probably browse for some cool recipes myself

So taking recipes from the many cultures that were and are present in America and modifying them to give them your own country's special touch is silly? Americanized Chinese food is silly?

Guess I'll scream in the ear of whoever dares to add chorizo to paella next time then for changing the Sacred Recipes of Mediterranean Culture.

yeah native americans have native dishes. yum

I will probably try to pull one of those off one of these days, now that I have extra time.

no i mean just adding hot sauce on top of pizza is technically 'just adding ingredients' but tex-mex has been around for quite a long time and is pretty refined. its more than just adding ingredients. how things are cooked, presented, and how things are even eaten varies. iirc mexican food doesn't always involve chips and queso like tex mex does

i may not have gotten sonic

but i did shamelessly eat an entire cherry pie on my own.

you guys can argue now, i just wanted to share what i ate.

I mean of course it'd be refined but in the end the recipes do have a common origin and it's easy to notice.

Also is there a difference between cheese and queso? Or do you guys use either word depending of the context? (Like, is it related to a type of cheese you guys call cheese in Spanish -queso- or is it related to the fact we're talking about tex-mex?).

That's one big of a meal dude, homgry cat

No argument dude I was merely memeing first but I'm actually curious now

Chile con queso has a whole bunch of shit in it, depending on what you want. Realistically I guess you could just do Velveeta and pico but I prefer high quality tex mex chips and dips.

I was just asking like, is queso a specific type of cheese or just cheese?

 

[Deleted member 374]

it refers to a number of different cheeses but it’s mostly contextual.

Oh right thanks

chile con queso can be a lot of cheeses tbh and its literally the best thing in the world. theres this really good tex mex place called chuys thats in the south, midwest, and east coast and hnnng.

for fast food texmex i like qdoba, their queso hits different
