The Many Differences Between Tex Mex and Traditional Mexican Recipes
You might think that Tex Mex, traditional Mexican recipes and Taco Bell style fast food are all pretty similar, if not quite interchangeable, but this is like comparing three different cuisines.
Just like most Chinese people would find westernized Chinese dishes unrecognizable from what they actually eat, Mexicans view a lot of Tex Mex food to be very different from authentic and traditional Mexican recipes and Taco Bell is even more different.
The word "Tex Mex" is used to describe regional American cuisine which blends authentic Mexican dishes with American ingredients and more. The cooking is a Spanish and Mexican hybrid with influences from both Northern Mexico and Texas. Dried beef, barbecued cow heads and goat feature in the Tex Mex cuisine on both sides of the Rio Grande because of the extensive cattle farming.
Popular Tex Mex Dishes
Tex Mex developed further in the twentieth century, using readily available American produce like yellow cheese. Tex Mex cooking uses flavors such as cumin, which is very rare in Mexican recipes but common in Indian food.
Tortilla chips with salsa or hot sauce is a common Tex Mex appetizer. Favorite Tex Mex ingredients are spices, beef and lots of melted cheese, beef. Chili con queso, chili con carne, fajitas, nachos, chimichangas and chili gravy are all Tex Mex dishes, rather than Mexican dishes. In Mexico what you would find on a combo plate would be much different then what you would find on your average Tex Mex plate.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying Tex Mex food and, in fact, sometimes sharing tortillas with a salsa dip with friends before tucking into a combination plate of chili con carne, fajitas and more is a wonderful way to have dinner. The first Tex Mex restaurants to appear had an exciting combination of a Wild West atmosphere with a romantic Latin undertone. Many a Mexican rice recipe with beans or even Enchiladas are believed to be standard Mexican fare served up with Mexican beer or jugs of margaritas. Now people are developing a new understanding of real Mexican food as well as Tex Mex.
Tex Mex restaurants are found all over the world but they are especially popular in Arizona, California, Texas and New Mexico. Many of them are decorated in Mexican colors, which are red, green and gold and the tables and booths are made of regular old wood. Tex Mex food is certainly delicious and remains hugely popular.
Authentic Mexican Recipes
If you enjoy Tex Mex food, you are going to love traditional Mexican recipes. Tex Mex food is primarily a blend of Mexican food with American and Spanish flavors. authentic Mexican food use a lot of the same ingredients and the focus is on high quality meat and fish, fresh produce, fresh herbs and spices. Loads of Tex Mex recipes are frozen instead of made to order, which is another good reason to try time-honored Mexican recipes.
A typical Tex Mex meal might combine several flavors on one plate to give you a taste of everything. One might find nachos, chili con carne, beef fajitas and a couple different types of sauce all together, put together with refried beans. A Mexican meal will be an appetizer and then an entree, rather than a huge buffet style platter.
Typical Mexican recipes include dishes that you know, like enchiladas, tacos and homemade salsas and ones that you might not have tried, such as Mexican casseroles, soups and layered salads. Mexican food can be different from region to region and seafood and fish is as popular in some parts of the country as beef is in others.
If you like Tex Mex cuisine, you are going to love authentic Mexican foods. You can make your own time-honored Mexican recipes at home if you want to try this varied, healthy and tasty cuisine. There are plenty of mouthwatering traditional Mexican recipes to get you started.
