pecans in desserts 8 history edit a bowl of chili served with traditional garnishes and tortilla chips the cuisine that would come to be called tex mex originated with tejanos as a mix of native mexican and spanish foods when texas was part of new spain and later mexico 9 this is occasionally referred to as old tejano cuisine fajitas wheat tortillas used as taco wraps plate of chili con carne served tex mex style topped with pork beef cheddar and monterey jack from the south texas region between san antonio the rio grande valley and el paso this cuisine has had little variation and from earliest times has always been influenced by the cooking in the neighboring northern states of mexico 10 the ranching culture of south texas and northern mexico straddles both sides of the border where beef grilled food and tortillas have been common and popular foods for more than a century 10 a taste for cabrito kid goat barbacoa de cabeza barbecued beef heads carne seca dried beef and other products of cattle culture is also common on both sides of the rio grande citation needed in the 20th century as goods from the united states became cheap and readily available tex mex took on such americanized elements as cheddar jack and pimento cheeses 11 in much of texas the cooking styles on both sides of the u s mexico border were the same until a period after the u s civil war with the railroads american ingredients and cooking appliances became common on the u s side 12 around the 1970s the composition of dishes popular in tex mex changed ninfa s popularized the fajita beginning in 1973 8 a 1968 los angeles times feature wrote i f the dish is a combination of old world cooking hush my mouth southern cuisine and tex mex it s from the texas hill country 13 outside the us edit

drinking tequila shots and eating chili con carne everything went crazy according to benayoun betty blue was like our easy rider it was unbelievably popular in france and after the movie came out everybody in paris wanted a shot of tequila and a bowl of chili 14 tex mex became widely introduced in the nordic countries and the united kingdom in the early 1990s through brands like old el paso and santa maria and very quickly became a staple meal in the nordics 15 minor local variations on tex mex in these areas are to use gouda cheese or to substitute taco shells with stuffed pita breads previously tex mex had been sold on a limited scale in stavanger norway since the late 1960s 16 tex mex has also spread to canada where it has become as naturalized as in the united states the cuisine is also readily found in argentina india japan mexico the netherlands thailand and many other countries 14 terminology edit ingredients commonly used in tex mex cuisine nachos with guacamole the word texmex unhyphenated was first used to abbreviate the texas mexican railway chartered in southern texas in 1875 9 in the 1920s the hyphenated form was used in american newspapers to describe texans of mexican ancestry 9 17 the oxford english dictionary supplies the first known uses in print of tex mex in reference to food from a 1963 article in the new york times magazine and a 1966 item in the great bend kansas tribune 18 however the term was used in an article in new york s binghamton press 19 in may 1960 and a syndicated article appearing in several american newspapers on october 6 1960 uses the tex mex label to describe a series of recipes including chili and enchiladas 20 the recipes included the suggestion of cornmeal pancakes in place of tortillas which at the time were not

her 1972 book the cuisines of mexico robb walsh of the houston press said the book was a breakthrough cookbook one that could have been written only by a non mexican it unified mexican cooking by transcending the nation s class divisions and treating the food of the poor with the same respect as the food of the upper classes 21 the term tex mex also saw increasing usage in the los angeles times from the 1970s onward while the tex mex label became a part of u s vernacular during the late 1960s 70s and 80s 22 adán medrano a chef who grew up in san antonio prefers to call the food texas mexican which he says was the indigenous cooking of south texas long before the rio grande marked the border between texas and mexico 23 influential chefs edit felix tijerina was a successful restaurateur and civic leader who helped pioneer tex mex cuisine through his dishes born in 1905 tijerina began working as a busboy at the original mexican restaurant after moving to houston in 1922 he rose through the ranks and opened his restaurant the mexican inn in 1929 24 after serving in world war ii tijerina opened a chain of restaurants named the felix mexican restaurant 25 with mildly spiced dishes and reasonable prices tijerina s restaurants catered more towards an anglo audience his spaghetti con chile special exemplifies how tijerina americanized traditional mexican food to appeal to the local texans 24 tijerina used his influence and economic profit from the restaurant business to become active in politics in 1935 tijerina joined the local council of lulac league of united latin american citizens and eventually became the national president of the organization holding the position from 1956 to 1960 24 tijerina died in 1965 but his chain of felix mexican
