Tex Mex Selection

With slavery, a diversity of flavors and dishes also came to the United States that was not only exclusive to slaves, but also to their owners, who in many cases were European. The arrival of Spanish, English, French, Dutch brought unique customs, traditions and flavors that were not known. The Europeans brought recipes and ingredients that they had to adapt to the dishes of the region, since it was easier to cook cheddar cheese from England in the time of the thirteen colonies than a Oaxaca cheese. The same thing happened when Mexican migrants who were used to many Mexican products such as tomatillo or green chili, had to use what was on hand and mixed with the ingredients, thus creating the Tex Mex cuisine.
