You’re right, Tex mex, although delicious, is not authentic Mexican cuisine.

But keep in mind, Fajitas are Tex Mex! mmmmmm I love the fuck outta fajitas.

The story I’ve heard is, back in the day Mexican Cowboys would herd cattle in Texas and the owners would pay them with meat and money. But the owners were assholes and didn’t want to give the Mexicans the best cuts of meat. So they would give them the skirt or flank steak.

And a culinary obsession was born!

Correcto señorita... a lot of different cuisines in Mexico just like anywhere else.
I can tell you this much, taco bell got a lot of heat for claiming their tacos were tacos. You see, they opened up a branch in Mexico and pretty much offended everyone. In Mexico, tacos are soft, made with corn tortilla, crunchy tacos don't exist. Now a tostada on the other hand, is crunchy. So, if I remember correctly taco bell changed the name of a taco to a folded tostada. Taco bell also started serving french fries to give the brand a more American feel.

When I was in grade school in the LA area(ca 1950's) there were no American fastfood taco places. But in LA you were never further than a few blocks from a taquiera. Exquiste! But yes, tacos are regional specialties; Baja and the surrounding Gulf of Calif. are primarily seafood tacos, al pastor Southern Mx, etc I could get them all. :)

About the only thing that needs done today is making the beer shelf happy again. Using leftover tri tip for o-juice sandwiches tonight for dinner with the ever present garden grown tomatoes. Watching recorded NHRA finals from Indy today, might get a nap in.

Put some potatoes in the left over been, steamed rice and some flour tortillas. Think I'll cut up a jalapeno and put it on top. Beer shelf full. Love fajitas, usually take flank steak put green peppers and a onion on it, then roll it up and slice and stake together. Put it on a smoker for a while eat when done. I call them pinwheels.
