Fun Fact: Tex-Mex blends Mexican and Texas flavors but differs significantly from traditional Mexican cuisine. Ingredients like beef, cheese, black beans, wheat flour, and cumin are hallmarks of Tex-Mex. Dishes such as burritos, nachos, fajitas, chili con carne, enchiladas, and chimichangas evolved through this fusion.
