I'm always fascinated with the history of Mexican food. It seems really difficult to find many sources, especially in English, for the history of a) Mexican-American food, and b) regional Mexican food post-conquest. Do you have any recs (besides your own, of course)?

Check the bibliography of the Tex-Mex Cookbook. It's pretty extensive.

I highly recommend the works of Jeffrey Pilcher on both Mexican food history and Mexican-American food history.
