Although, it is more popular in Texas, the influence of the cuisine has spread all over the United States, and also to neighbor countries. Tex-Mex dishes mainly use ingredients such as beef, pork, cheese, beans and, of course, spices! But, what makes Tex-Mex food really different from Mexican or American food?
