Tortilla Chips and Salsa
Tortilla chips and salsa were designated the official state snack of Texas in 2003. Like the square dance, the guitar, and the rodeo, tortilla chips and salsa are deeply rooted in Texas tradition. The primary ingredients used to make tortilla chips and salsa have nourished the people of Texas for centuries . Corn, peppers, and tomatoes are all foods that originated in the western hemisphere and were being cultivated by native Americans along the Rio Grande when the Spaniards (who introduced onions to the New World) arrived.
“Salsa” is the Spanish word for sauce. In southwestern cooking, it refers to a relish or condiment that accompanies a meal - a mixture of chopped vegetables (usually onions, peppers, tomatoes), and seasonings (particularly garlic and cilantro) that may be raw or cooked.
