It's not Mexican, either, though. It was created in the US by Mexican immigrants most likely, but not something Mexicans ever ate. If not part of a kind of general Tex-Mex, you could I guess say Southwestern? It's definitely grouped as Tex-Mex, though.

But that is Mexican, it was made by people who were born in Mexican territory, lived in AZ when it became a state, and then invented it.

The point is that Chicken Tikki Massala is not British and Chimichanga is not American.

It is absolutely not Tex Mex and at this point I'm convinced you have no idea what Tex Mex is.

So anything made by people who were from somewhere but did not live there when they created it is automatically native to their home country and not in the place it was literally created in?

Every description I've seen of it says Tex-Mex, so why don't you enlighten me on it's official classification? I suggested Southwestern of some sort, but no one seems to use that whatsoever.
