Tex-Mex cuisine blends Mexican culinary traditions with American influences, creating vibrant, flavorful dishes. Common ingredients include tortillas, beans, cheese, ground beef or chicken, chili peppers, rice, and fresh veggies like tomatoes, onions, and peppers. Signature Tex-Mex dishes include tacos, enchiladas, nachos, and fajitas, often served with zesty salsas or creamy guacamole. While Tex-Mex can provide protein, fiber, and healthy fats from beans, lean meats, and avocados, some dishes are high in saturated fats, sodium, and calories due to cheese, sour cream, fried tortillas, and heavy seasoning. Opting for grilled proteins, fresh veggies, or smaller portions can support a healthier take on Tex-Mex favorites. Originating in the border regions of Texas and Mexico, Tex-Mex became popular for its bold flavors and comforting appeal, ideal for sharing with friends or family.
