You’ve heard of Tex-Mex, but how about Japa-Mex? Thanks to a large US military presence in Japan, dishes like this Taco Rice have become a regional staple in the southern island of Okinawa.

Some may call it an abomination, but as someone who loves watching food evolve, I think it’s pure genius. Check out my version over at PBS this week.
