Texas is populated by at least 27 ethnic and cultural groups to inspire our Texas Cooking which has brought millions of visitors from all over the world every year to try out our Texas Cuisine. Some of us are lucky enough to live here but if you cannot then come on down for a dish of Texas home cooking.

Some of Texan’s favorite foods and drinks are chicken fried steak, chili, barbeque, cheese enchiladas, tacos, pecan pie, tortillas soup, margaritas, Dr. Pepper, sweet tea, breakfast tacos, Texas sheet cake, Tex Mex anything, corn dogs, Whataburgers, kolaches, fajitas, Blue Bell ice cream and more.

Some of these foods and drinks were invented in Texas. Corn dogs were introduced at the Texas State Fair going back to our German heritage. Germans love sausages so frying them in a deep batter was an ingenious way to appeal to Texas locals. Dr. Pepper was invented in Waco, Texas. Fajitas were invented somewhere in Texas. Of course, Tex Mex originates from our early Mexican settlers called Tejanos, Native Americans, and anglo settlers.

Tex Mex is said to have been created in the Rio Grande Valley with chili being the original Tex Mex dish which continued to grow in popularity culminating in even more Tex Mex foods. Chili Verde, chili con carne, and enchiladas became popular in the early 1900s. San Antonio contributed greatly to the popularity of Tex-Mex when it began mass production of tortillas. Fritos were also invented there by a Mexican immigrant who sold the idea to Frito Lay. Read more about Texas Foods here.
