Found everywhere from roadside taco stands tothe most beloved supermarket in the state, this creamy green sauce could practically be the state condiment. Not quite a salsa verde, it's actually jalapeños and oil blitzed into a creamy emulsion.

Erin Kunkel3/14Texas Sheet Cake
At first glance, this Texas sheet cake looks pretty straightforward: a large, thin layer of tender chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and a sprinkling of toasted nuts. What makes it a star? You pour on the frosting while the cake is still hot, turning it into a gooey sauce that coats the whole cake.
