What is the difference between Interior Mexican and Tex Mex?
The Tex-Mex meaning can be most simply summed up by the different types of ingredients used.
Tex-Mex recipes feature the use of chili powder, a savory mix of ground chile peppers with spices including cumin, oregano, and black pepper. Alternatively, Mexican recipes call for chile peppers, not the chili seasoning blend. One of the major differences is that Tex-Mex tends to use beef, which is readily available in Texas, whereas authentic Mexican uses pork. Tex-Mex may also use other ingredients not typically found in Mexican dishes, such as yellow cheese (instead of blanco) and wheat flour instead of corn.
