Going right of topic here, perhaps Zelda could relocate.
Can I just stick up for Tex Mex food for a minute, I personally love it, and as you can see from the online dictionary definition below, while not completely Spanish it certainly is Hispanic so don’t lump it in with typical English food. But I agree as with most things you get good and bad Tex Mex, like some good and bad Local food.
In the mission era (from the 1400), Spanish and Mexican Indian foods were combined in Texas as in other parts of the Northern Frontier of New Spain. However, the cuisine that would come to be called Tex-Mex actually originated with Tejanos (Texans of Hispanic descent) as a hybrid of Spanish and native Mexican foods when Texas was part of New Spain and later Mexico.
