Mexican food is very diverse. From the traditional cuts of meat from the north of the country to the escamoles from the south, the national cuisine has a privileged number of culinary delights.
Thanks to the great diversity of ingredients, regional customs, and the grand imagination of Mexicans, Mexican gastronomy is currently considered a UNESCO World Heritage.
But not everything that is said to be Mexican is genuinely a national creation. Here are some dishes that are presented as Mexican but are actually not:
Chili con beans
Yes, even though it contains beans and chili, this is a Texan invention.
Fajitas
Do not confuse the cut with the name of the Tex-Mex dish.
Crispy tacos
They originated in California as an idea to make taco sales more practical.
Margaritas
Although tequila is 100% Mexican, the mix of ingredients was invented by an American bartender.
Chimichangas

Recommended recipe:
Chipotle shrimp chimichangas
This dish is the result of an accident when a burrito fell into a fryer (in Arizona).
Corn chips
The traditional snack to accompany guacamole was first produced almost 40 years ago in the United States.
Undoubtedly, the mix of ingredients and the fusion of cultures have created an original and very authentic cuisine.
Typical of the southern states of the United States and the border cities of northern Mexico, Tex-Mex food combines the flavors and traditions of both peoples.
