It’s got a rep for making mouths water and bellies happy. But where did it start? And how did we end up taking these epic flavours and stuffing them inside a Chunk pie? 🤔

Buckle up, amigos! We’re diving deep into the delicious world of Tex-Mex, from its fiery roots to 🔥 The Ricardo Pie! 🔥

🌶️ Where It All Began – Chilli Con Carne’s Spicy Origins

Picture this: beans into the pot.

The result? The first bubbling batches of what we now callchilli con carne!

That’s right! Before it was topping nachos in your local, chilli was cowboy fuel!! 🤠

Rough riders on cattle trails needed food that was hearty, spicy, and built to last! So they oregano - all ingredients native to the Southwest - and BOOM, the dish was born!

And let’s clear up a common myth:

OG chilli? extra heartiness (and some controversial takes from Texas purists who say real chilli never has them… we’ll let you decide)!

🔥From Campfire Classic to Tex-Mex Superstar

⏩ Fast forward a few centuries, and chilli con carne was more than just cowboy grub! It hit diners, got loaded onto hot dogs, smothered over nachos, and became the ultimate comfort food.

And Tex-Mex? That was born when Mexican recipes fused with Texas ingredients - creating the flavour bomb we know today.

Think:

🌮 Chilli bowls – Hot, spicy, and best served with tortilla chips for dipping (or just a big spoon).

The secret to Tex-Mex success? Bold flavours. Loads of heat. More cheese than strictly necessary! And honestly, we respect that.

🥧 So… How Did It End Up in a Pie?

Great question. Because, let’s be real, who looks at a bubbling bowl of chilli and goes, “You know what this needs? Pastry.”

Well, we did!!

We're all about pushing pies further - whether it’s stuffing haggis in a pastry case or turning an Italian-American meatball marinara sub into a handheld masterpiece.

And The Ricardo? That’s us taking the best bits of Tex-Mex and giving them the pie treatment.

🥩Crushed tortilla chips on top – for the crunch

The result? A full-flavoured, spice-kissed, cheese-smothered PIE that might just change the game.
