Epinions.com - Sabor Autentico: What Is and Isn't Tex-Mex Tex-Mex is, in anthropological terms, a 'contact' and 'criollo' cuisine, emanating from the intersection of cultures and birthed and cradled in the Rio Grande Valley, the Nueces Strip and the brasada, and Old San Antonio. Tex-Mex is explicitly not the cuisine of Mexico, a proud and separate tradition; nor by the same token is it norteamericano chow, food blanded-down to the gringo palate (the people who gave the world Wonder bread and Miracle Whip and Cream of Mushroom soup). Cuisine alleged to be Tex-Mex — dishes that wrap themselves in that honored name the way tamales are wrapped in corn shucks — has become (always a dread risk) popular. www.epinions.com /content_1008640132   (1320 words)

houstonpress.com Cafe Brave Nuevo World 2000-12-21 I told him that Tex-Mex is an American regional cuisine for two reasons: First, because the ingredients that made it Tex-Mex, like flour, ground beef and yellow cheese, came from the American side of the border. What we call Nuevo Tex-Mex is less sophisticated than Southwestern cuisine; it's unfaithful to authentic interior Mexican cooking's fussy mandates; and it's based on such familiar Tex-Mex forms as nachos, tacos, enchiladas and fajitas -- all served with lots of margaritas and cold beer. Kennedy and her friends in the food community began referring to Americanized Mexican food as "Tex-Mex," a term previously used to describe anything that was half Texan and half Mexican. www.houstonpress.com /issues/2000-12-21/cafe.html   (1943 words)

Food: Feature 1 In the beginning, there was Tex-Mex. This hearty peasant cuisine was the creation of Texas' first immigrant population, the Spanish and Mexican settlers, who adapted the dishes of their native lands to the agricultural products, game, and domestic livestock that flourished in their new homeland. Thanks to the pioneering efforts of Ravago and Gilliland, the food from Mexico's interior began to grow in popularity and spread to restaurants across Austin and the state, to the point that today many of the dishes and ingredients of interior cuisine are accepted as widely as their Tex-Mex counterparts. Corn tortillas: the staple bread made from corn masa (dough), cooked on a hot griddle or comal; corn is the primary grain of Mexican cuisine. www.austinchronicle.com /issues/vol18/issue28/food.mexican.html   (4018 words)

Article - How To Make Beef Machaca In Tex-Mex cuisine, an adapted version of the traditional machaca is a staple that can be served alone with tortillas and taco fixings, or as the basis for many other dishes.

The Austin Chronicle: Food: Santa Rita Cantina To me, the vibrant sauces and bold flavors that define interior Mexican cuisine seem to deaden in Tex-Mex kitchens, where bland ranchero sauce, heavy orange cheese, and greasy enchiladas prevail.

Amazon.com: Books: The Tex-Mex Cookbook : A History in Recipes and Photos While other writers may not take the `Tex' part of the term literally, Robb Walsh wishes to define the extent of `Tex-Mex' cuisine as truly that which is done or which originated within the boundaries of Texas, or some location very close by. One critical `defining moment' in `Tex-Mex' cuisine occurred just thirty years ago, according to the author, when Diana Kennedy, the renowned interpreter of Mexican cuisines identified the style of cooking north of the Mexican border in `The Cuisines of Mexico' as something distinctly not part of Mexican culinary heritage. The word `Tex-Mex' was not invented for the cuisine and may not have been applied to the cuisine until Diana Kennedy banished it from Mexican food styles. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0767914880?v=glance   (2476 words)
