It was destined to be a category soon! This was my first choice instead of the Spirits TD but DerHusker kindly reminded me that there may be lots of Pepper TD entries with a Mexican twist, so I chose the Spirits, instead!

I found this article that helps define more clearly what exactly Tex-Mex style cooking is:

So are black beans considered tex-mex or just mex?

With 93vpmod's input, we have clarified the category from "Tex-Mex" to "Tex-Mex and/or Mex-Mex".
In other words, if you still fail to meet the category and get a DQ, there is no hope for you.

I never would have guessed that...I thought refried pintos were one of the Tex-Mex staples?

Sure, but there are still lots of places that use black beans in dishes or as a substitute item.

Some Tex-Mex is pretty true to Mex-Mex, and some isn't. Both can be good, and both can suck. Over the last couple of decades, it is getting even more mixed up. Some restaurants are doing Tex-Mex that is closer to Mex-Mex... and it is pretty farking good.
Like biggie said, if you get a DQ in this one, you are quite possibly an idiot. CD |

Some of the true Mexican food I've had in Texas almost always included black beans. Could be a regional thing.

Charro beans are traditional Mexican beans that most Tex-Mex restaurants are offering around here as an option to refried beans. Still pinto beans, but more of a bean soup, rather than the paste consistency of refried beans. I prefer charro beans, myself. CD |
