About this episode

Rebecca and Katie explore Tex-Mex cuisine by comparing chicken enchiladas and carne guisada.

In anticipation of a trip to Texas, Rebecca chose Tex-Mex for this month's theme. What exactly is Tex-Mex? Well, it's not Texas’ version of Mexican food. Instead, it's a cuisine derived from the traditional ranch cooking of South Texas back when Texas and Mexico were a part of the same colony. In this episode, we put Marcela Valladolid's chicken enchiladas up against Josef Centeno’s carne guisada. Which dish will have us running when the dinner bell rings?
