I’ve always been told that what we consider “Mexican food” in the west is actually bastardised TexMex - what food is actually traditionally Mexican?

Prob tamales. There are variations that I like that have a cool history in the US. Like Hot tamales that were made when mexican migrant workers got together with African americans in the south and exchanged recipes when working with each other. Heard this on good eats and I like them.
