What is the difference between Mexican and Tex-Mex foods?
A lot of recipes use the terms Mexican and Tex-Mex interchangeably. There are, however, some commonly accepted differences between the two. Traditional Mexican foods use white cheeses while Tex-Mex will often use yellow cheeses. Queso dip is a Tex-Mex dish but not a traditional Mexican dish. Ground beef is a common addition to Tex-Mex foods, while Mexican foods utilize mostly pork and chicken. One of the other differences is in the use of cumin. Cumin is not commonly used in traditional Mexican recipes but is often utilized in Tex-Mex dishes. You’ll also primarily find corn tortillas in Mexican dishes and will most often find flour tortillas in Tex-Mex dishes.
Is this Tex-Mex keto breakfast casserole spicy?
This casserole is mild in the spice department. We’re pretty wimpy here!😊But you can easily make this casserole spicier if you’d like! You could add additional chili powder. You could substitute pepper jack cheese to give the dish a little kick. The addition of hot sauce would also heat it up. Adding some diced jalapeno peppers either to the casserole or as a topping would also make this casserole spicier!
