Having lived in the city(not county)of L.A.,and spent over one year in Mexico the LAST thing Im looking for is Tex-Mex...I mean thats not even Mexican food...
It is too "Mexican food" if you're from Chihuahua or Coahuila states. That would be the same as saying "locro isn't even Argentine food", because it's not a milanesa, overcooked pasta, dead cow, or pizza/empanadas.
Horseshit!
Tex-Mex is much more stew/chili based than what you are calling Mexican food because out in the prairie, the vaqueros didn't have the same food at their disposal as someone in a town and therefore had to make food that required just adding water & fire.
Now, adding a half o' pound of cheddar cheese to everything isn't exactly authentic, but refried beans, chili con carne sauce, cooking up whatever you could find and then throwing it into a tortilla... (de maiz o trigo, again, whatever you could find...) that's as MEXICAN as it is Texan.
Are you going to tell me that fried fish tacos (Baja style) IS Mexican food or ISN'T? I'm interested in hearing this explanation as well.
Is this Mexican food or not?
From Wikipedia:
Burritos: Son de
tortilla de harina de trigo. Incluyen como ingrediente cualquier guiso acompañado con frijoles refritos.
Son originarios del estado de Chihuahua.
Do not disparage that which you know little to nothing about.
