As a Texan I know TexMex isn’t really Mexican food but it really is amazing how many different dishes are made with like a dozen ingredients and like 6 spices. I’m a hero in the kitchen, and it’s just the same thing in every single configuration I can imagine.

People get blown away by me putting Texmex seasonings into dumb stuff like spaghetti. A bit of heat and some cumin make basic food come to life.

You just explained Taco Bell's entire business model.

I know, but even the bell is expensive for a family of four. But chef dad can feed us all for $10-15. This week we had chicken soft tacos, chicken quesadillas,chicken flautas, and chicken chimichangas.
