Southwestern cuisine is food styled after the rustic cooking of Texas , Oklahoma , New Mexico , Arizona , Nevada , Utah , and Colorado . It comprises a fusion of recipes for things that might have been eaten by Cowboy s, Native Americans , and Mexican s throughout the post-Columbian era. Southwestern cuisine is heavily influenced by Mexican Cuisine but involves more large cuts of meat. This style of cuisine is knows for its use of spices, particularly Chili Pepper and Tabasco Sauce . Chili Con Carne and Fajita s are particularly well known Southwestern Food s. Recently, several chains of casual dining restaurants specializing in Southwestern cuisine have become popular in the United States . As more immigrants from Mexico travel to the southwest seeking " The American Dream ", more southwestern restaurants open, and boom.
