[[File:Burrito with rice.jpg|thumb|One of the most famous [[Tex-Mex cuisine|Tejano]] dishes, the [[burrito]]]]
The cuisine that would come to be known as "Tex-Mex" originated with the Tejanos. It developed from [[Spanish cuisine|Spanish]] and North American indigenous commodities with influences from [[Mexican cuisine]].<ref>{{Handbook of Texas|id=fon02|name=Juan de Oñate}}</ref>

Tex-Mex cuisine is characterized by its widespread use of melted [[cheese]], [[meat]] (particularly [[beef]]), [[Capsicum|peppers]], [[bean]]s, and [[spice]]s, in addition to [[maize|corn]] or [[flour]] [[tortillas]]. [[Chili con carne]], [[burritos]], [[carne asada]], [[chalupa]], [[chili con queso]], [[enchilada]]s, and [[fajita]]s are all Tex-Mex specialties. A common feature of Tex-Mex is the combination plate, with several of the above on one large platter. Serving [[tortilla chip]]s and a [[hot sauce]] or [[Salsa (sauce)|salsa]] as an appetizer is also a Tex-Mex development.<ref>[http://www.lightmillennium.org/2005_15th/emartinez_tex_mex_cuisine.html Etienne MARTINEZ, "Mexicans in the U.S.A: Mexican-American / Tex-Mex Cousine"], Light Millennium</ref> ''[[Cabrito]]'', ''[[barbacoa]]'', ''[[carne seca]]'', and other products of [[cattle]] culture have been common in the [[ranch]]ing cultures of [[South Texas]] and northern Mexico. In the 20th century, Tex-Mex took on [[Americanized]] elements such as yellow cheese, as goods from the rest of the United States became cheap and readily available.<ref>[[Robb Walsh]]. ''[[The Tex-Mex Cookbook]]'' ([[New York City|New York]]: [[Broadway Books]], 2004), XVI</ref> Tex-Mex has imported flavors from other spicy cuisines, such as the use of [[cumin]]. Cumin is often referred to by its Spanish name, ''comino.''

A common Tex-Mex breakfast dish served is a "breakfast taco" and usually consists of a flour tortilla or corn tortilla served using a single fold. That is in contrast to the burrito-style method of completely encasing the ingredients. Some of the typical ingredients used are a combination of [[Egg as food|eggs]], [[potatoes]], cheese, peppers, [[bacon]], [[sausage]], and barbacoa. Breakfast tacos are traditionally served with an optional [[Salsa (sauce)|red or green salsa]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://austin.eater.com/2016/2/19/11060078/breakfast-taco-austin-history|title = How Austin Became the Home of the Crucial Breakfast Taco|date = 19 February 2016}}</ref>
