Who has a stake in TexMex cuisine?

We discussed in class the roots of TexMex food, the evolution of a cuisine, and who has a vested interest in its development.

More on the presentation later, after I ask the students to include insights, reactions, comments, stories.

This will be the theme for the next 3 installments that include recipes and kitchen demos.
