MEXI-QUE
This is fusion. You must compose an entree with American BBQ and Mexican influences and ingredients combined, not straight American BBQ and Mexican as separate entrees on one plate. The fusion must be cohesive and evident.
So not a Mexican taco and burnt ends, fusion means fusing, a burnt ends taco with pico slaw would be fusion. Fuse or cross spices, rubs, sauces, etc. The rest is up to you! No ideas. Let's see how you Mexi-Que!

- American BBQ means it must be smoked using an electric, gas, or charcoal/wood smoker. Indirect.
- Mexican means authentic or Tex-Mex.
- These must be fused into one so you do not need to be traditional with spices and ingredients as long as they are crossover from one cuisine to the other. But you must cook in the style of American BBQ for at least part of each entree, but may also incorporate Mexican cooking methods into that same entree.
- Anything goes as far as meats and proteins.
- You must present one plate for the entree, but may have up to two entrees on that plate. (The combo plate is common with Mexican and BBQ.)
- You are allowed two sides which may be on the plate or as side dishes. If choosing one it must be fusion. If choosing two, they may be fusion, or you may have one Mexican side and one American BBQ side. Rice and beans may be treated as one side.
- You are allowed one beverage or cocktail which needs to fit the theme of the meal. Up to you.
