Funny, because I distinctly recall TRADITIONAL Mexican cuisine making it onto UNESCO's cultural heritage list, not Tex-Mex. I'm not bashing the latter, but you really shouldn't put down centuries of cooking culture down that easily, especially when so many other countries other than the US have been influenced by it

Does it have a bunch of sauces made with mayo? Tex Mex.

Tex mex is entirely comprised of less than 10 ingredients, some combination of: tomatoes, chicken or beef, avocados, onions, pickled jalapenos, sour cream, flour tortillas, oregano, and shredded random WIDF garbage cheese

Mexican food is about as diverse as Indian food, ranging from spare, minimalistic and simple weeb-tier dishes to obscenely complicated dishes that take days to prepare and dozens of ingredients. Seafood, beef, turkey, pork, bugs, herbs you've never heard of, 1000 different kinds of maize (that Monsanto is systematically trying to eradicate and replace with 2 or 3 profitable varieties), squash blossoms, corn fungus, a gorillion kinds of dairy, chocolate, coffee, twenty thousands of chiles fresh dried fermented and smoked, it would take a lifetime to even begin to scratch the surface. Talk to two Mexicans from the same state and even they won't agree on what Mexican food is. But talk to a Texan and it's the abhorrent "queso" (kraft singles mixed with canned vegetables and microwaved), and maybe some grilled chicken dusted with dried cumin. Basically, the echoes of the screams of the Mexicans whose culture was eradicated when the gringoes invaded in the 1840s, mixed with 1950s cold war nuclear bunker garbage.

TexMex is cowboy food. Beef is king, dairy products are used heavily and wheat tortillas are generally favored over corn. Classic TexMex dishes include steak fajitas, chili con carne, chili con queso and breakfast burritos.

Mexican food varies quite a bit by region, but generally corn tortillas and other masa preparations are very common. Burritos are much less common than they are in the US, and tacos rule the day for cheap eats.

You are living proof that maps like pic related aren't a meme. Are you honestly content to live a life full of hatred and ignorance?

And did you sleep through history class? All of the Conquistadors who explored the New World were Europeans, mostly Castilians; as a matter of fact, it was technically forbidden by law for non-Castilians and non-Catholics to settle there, let alone 'Moors'. And before you ask, there is VERY little in common between Castilians and Mexicans, even in terms of language.

Not that anon, but did you even read the article you posted, which posits that ancient Australasians played a critical role in the settling of the Americas?

And by what standards are Mexicans 'invaders', given that the Paleo-Indians they descended from were the first settlers and thus didn't take anything by force? By your 'logic', shouldn't we all go back to Africa, since that's where all of humanity came from before settling around the world? Or do you have more pseudoscientific theories to dispute that?

>when the gringos invaded

you mean when the gringos kicked mexicos shitty ass after they brutally attacked texas, which had peacefully succeeded from mexico with no intention of joining the united states, because mexico was such a steaming pile of shit even back then, that texas had to ask the US for help and in return we drove you back to mexico city and could have slaughtered every last fucking mexican if we felt like it, and instead, not only did we allow mexico to continue existing, we paid them for the land that they gave us out of their own free will as a bargain for a truce?

fuck you, taco-nigger. your food is shit scraped off of iguanas backs because you're all so god damned poor because you're all so god damned savagely retarded. places that middle and lower class people eat in america serve food that only rich people eat in mexico. most mexicans subsist off of fucking twinkies and coca cola - you're the fattest nation in the fucking world and you're so viscerally aware of how fucking shit mexico is that you're willing to risk death and rape just to get into america.

mexican food is basically gas station tier bullshit and i'm loving every fucking minute of ICE deporting the fuck out of you god damned smelly beaners.

I have crossed the us/mexico border thousands of times and at least 700/800 of these times i was never asked for documetation

I had a business in bordertown for the better part of 12 years sometimes crossing as much as 10 times daily

I laugh so hard at your and basic american senses i nearly shit myself whenever your lazy words find am outlet

I expect that crossing the border this year 25 times isnt overestimating one bit still before years end id expect to cross at least another 50 times with any luck

Please go back into your end of times bunker and keep practicing on lasting more that 2 minutes when fucking your toothless sister

Tex-Mex is a mixture between Southeastern American cuisine (beans, rice, lots of pork and beef, Southern BBQ), Northern Mexican cuisine (more BBQing/grilling, spicy stewed meats, burritos, more beans), although it also carries some Central/Southern Mexican influence (totopos, A.K.A. tortilla chips, guacamole, pico de gallo, Mexican red rice, even more fucking beans), due to the large number of immigrants from Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Michoacan, and other southernly states in Mexico.
tl;dr Tex-Mex cuisine has about as much in common with Mexican cuisine as Northeastern American cuisine shares in common with English cuisine.
>>
>>8626728

They're still pretty fucking far away from the border with 'Murica, vato.
(Yes, I do know that you people from deep southern Mexico don't use the word "vato", and that you get triggered very easily by the use of the word "America", which is why I said it.)

You have no idea what you're talking about.
First off, queso (the cheese dip for tortilla chips ), isn't made with "kraft singles and canned vegetables ". Although a lot of Yankees make that. It's a mix of asadero cheese and other white, Mexican cheeses with grilled, chopped onions and peppers, and grilled or baked in a cast iron skillet. Sometimes a spoonful of salsa is added. There's variations to that, such as queso fundido and queso del mar (one of my favorites ).
There's a wide variety of foods involved in TexMex. Try eating somewhere besides Taco Cabana.

I assume you mean "talked off with pejoratives about Muslims", so, maybe for some. Except the Muslim Indians. And the Indian Hindus who aren't batshit crazy BJP types. Assuming all Indians hate Muslims is like assuming all Americans hate Mexicans. The ones who do, will claim that you're not a REAL (Indian/American) unless you hate (Muslims/Mexicans). But that's just one extreme faction's opinion.

There are a handful of ingredients that are found in only tex-mex and not authentic Mexican food, and vice versa. Mexican food has a lot more chili pepper, and tex-mex has a lot more cheese.

Tex-Mex can have sour cream, cheddar or American cheese, parsley, ketchup, anything with potato is tex-mex. Because of the different climate in the states, a lot of the staple ingredients are substituted with canned or easy to find ones: citrus is used considerably less, tomatoes are generally canned and pureed, the variety of pepper is usually limited to jalapeno, chipotle, and bell, and ground beef is used a lot more.

Mexican incorporates cinnamon, pickled vegetables, lard, lime, cilantro, a surprising diversity of white crumbly cheeses like cotija and anejo, and the meat is pork and chicken over beef. Northern mexico uses a lot of pinto beans, southern mexico uses black beans.

There are certain dishes that are exclusive to each area but there are also some weird mixes of both. 'Texas red' chili is from texas obviously but is sort of the standard for 'chili.' Green chili is very popular in the US, and uses tomatillos. Mexican giardiniera (carrots/onion/jalapenos) is popular in Mexico but sometimes shows up in the US. The American taco is quite similar to the Mexican taquito.

tl;dr the easiest way to tell is if it has a fuckload of cheese one it: that is 'murrican. A fuckload of lime, it's Mexican.
