TexMex is a delicious blend of Texas and Mexican Food styles.
Nachos: tortilla chips covered in melted cheese. Other toppings can be added, such as jalapeño peppers, refried beans, and beef.
Crispy tacos: over-sized fried corn tortilla filled with seasoned ground or shredded beef (or chicken or pork), cheese, lettuce and sometimes tomato. Often, the taco itself is deep-fried so that the shell moulds itself around the meat filling.
Crispy chalupas: deep-fried wheat flatbread and filled with ground beef, onion, and sour cream. Many basketball teams give free chalupas to the crowd when the home team scores 100 points.
Fajita: grilled meat served on a wheat or corn tortilla with condiments. In Mexican restaurants, the meat is often cooked with onions and peppers, and popular condiments are sour cream, guacamole (avocado mole), salsa, cheese and tomato.
