Tex-Mex cuisine is a culinary style that combines elements of Mexican and American Southwestern cooking. It emerged from the cultural fusion in the Texas-Mexico border region, incorporating ingredients and techniques from both traditions.

Tex-Mex dishes often feature ingredients such as beef, beans, cheese, and chili peppers. Tortillas, both flour and corn, play a central role in many dishes, and the cuisine is known for its use of spices and bold flavors.

Tex-Mex offers a wide range of dishes, including enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, and chili con carne. The cuisine caters to diverse tastes, providing options that can be both simple and hearty or more complex and flavorful, making it popular across various regions.
