Tex mex is soooo good but the name makes it sound like "shitty American version of Mexican food" when that couldn't be further from the truth

Only if you have insufficient love and respect for Texas (ignore recent fascist bullshit). :D

But I think it works. It takes the best from both to come up with... well... in practice, you can take a few ingredients and make them into a lot of different things...... but they are all very tasty, so there's that. hehe

No no, no disrespect intended by that. It just sounds like a knockoff. Fool's gold, mocktail, texmex, etc.

To anyone unfamiliar, texmex is not some sort of "what if we combined X and Y?" Michelin star fusion. It's the natural evolution of cuisine trade between northern Mexicans and Texans (tejanos). A lot of things people think of as Mexican are actually texmex. Like fajitas. I think queso or nachos?
