Some WTTT New Mexico Headcanons
I’ve lived in like 8 states in my life so I figured I’d do some WTTT headcanons based on my experiences living in each of them. First up is New Mexico bc I love him.
(Disclaimer: These are based on observations I made from living in northern New Mexico for 2 years. I’m not a native New Mexican, and as such, there are definitely cultural subtleties I’m sure I missed. Please let me know if there’s anything you would add or change! Also, I’m pretty sure a few of these things are already canon in WTTT but hey...)
· He bonds with Nevada about alien/government conspiracy theories. (Have he and Nevada ever interacted in canon? I can’t remember…but if they do, it should be about aliens. Or nukes.)
· New Mexico is very matter-of-fact, almost too casual about his supernatural observations. Like yeah, he saw some weird grey dudes in a spaceship abduct a cow, but that’s just a Tuesday in Burque, no? He’s seen weirder…
· He complains whenever the humidity reaches 30% or higher. (Florida is extremely confused by this, refusing to believe that the humidity can get lower than 50%)
· He doesn’t really care about being on time to things. His philosophy is that “I’ll get there when I get there.”
· He’s okay with simplicity and tradition. He doesn’t really seek out drastic change, and he’s okay with doing things the way he’s always done them because “if it works, it works, no?” As a result, he’s very down-to-earth and had a lot of pride in himself and his people.
· He’s a really good cook, and he doesn’t just make chile. Some of his other staple foods include posole (hominy), calabacitas (sauteed zucchini and summer squash), carne adovada (pork marinated in red chile), sopapillas (pillow shaped fried pastry served with honey), and biscochitos (a crisp butter cookie flavored with sugar, cinnamon, and anise).
· He will get BIG MAD if you call any of the above recipes “Mexican food.”
· He loves f***ing with people. He’s a huge prankster and will NOT hesitate to shit-talk you in front of everyone. (But in a friendly way)
· His politics are hard to classify. He’s known as a “blue state” but he’s not particularly liberal. He’s pretty cynical about politics, believing wholeheartedly that the U.S. government is corrupt and he has to look out for himself because no one else will (historically, he’s not wrong). Most of his political beliefs come from that undercurrent of defiance.
· He has no idea what a “Cardi B” is, but jams música nuevo mexicana and Selena on the regular. He also loves classic rock. (Blame Route 66 nostalgia.)
· He doesn’t say much to the other states outside of his circle, but he loves to chat for hours with people he knows well. It’s kind of a cliché, but he literally does know pretty much everyone… and their mom, and their grandma, and their dog, and all their great-uncles going back 5 generations…
· He’s pretty chill and laid-back most of the time, but the following things inevitably make him *BIG MAD*
-Anyone (looking at you, Colorado) that dares to call his chile inferior.
-Getting compared to Mexico/being called Mexican.
-Texas, in general. For reasons.
-Breaking Bad references (It gets old.)
-People who try to whitewash NM’s history or culture/people that forget he existed for literal centuries before 1912.
· He’s a member of the “cool flag club.” He’s not quite as obsessed with his flag as Maryland is, but almost. Don’t let his comment in his “welcome” episode fool you; he already has at least 5 Zia sun tattoos. He conveniently ignores the fact that it’s technically cultural appropriation.
· He creates many kinds of art and his work is extremely quirky. When asked to explain the thought process behind his art, he’ll say something like “I dunno, it came to me in a dream, man.”
· He actually doesn’t hate Colorado. Besides the chile rivalry, they get along relatively well. He definitely gives off cynical big brother vibes, with Colorado being the ditzy little brother whose head is always (literally and figuratively) in the clouds. New Mexico thinks Colorado is kind of an idiot, but in an affectionate way. NM loves shit-talking him (see above) but half the time it goes way over Colorado’s head.

could i get a recipe (or vague instructions even) for the calabacitas con queso? sounds delicious
I can’t offer super specific directions---for calabacitas or basically anything I cook---but I’ve been using this as a base recipe. Last night I used 2 jalepenos, 2 poblanos, and 3 zucchini (last time I made it with actual calabacita squash!) plus added some ground turkey and a lot more cumin, replaced the oregano with marjoram, since I only have Mediterranean oregano, and used queso fresco instead of cheddar.
So it’s a nicely flexible recipe! You can do a lot of improvising, and the result will still taste fantastic served in a nice warm tortilla.
#I also skipped the step about adding water because after literally so so many vegetables#there was plenty of liquid for steaming the zucchini#tw food#no love sincerer than the love of food#Anonymous

What sort of Josefina would of ate?
Great question. The Montoya’s rancho would have provided much of what they would have eaten. In the fields they would grow staples like corn, beans, chiles, melons, and squash. The orchards grew fruits like plums, apples, and apricots. They also raised animals for meat, lard, eggs, and milk. Whatever they couldn’t produce there would be imported from elsewhere.
Her stories mention food a few times: the bread that Josefina and her sisters bake in the outdoor ovens, tamales and bizcochitos at Christmas, a king cake on Three Kings’ Day, chile stew and empanditas on that same holiday, hot chocolate at a fandango, chiles that must be braided into ristras for preserving through the winter, mint tea that everyone drinks together, and the nuts of the piñón tree that the family gathers in the autumn.
For a more detailed look at this subject, may I direct you to this book:
If you can get your hands on it (try your library first and eBay second) then here are the recipes included in it:
Flour tortillas--Josefina would have had corn tortillas as well
Torrejas--fluffy egg fritters
Soft cheese--the goats would have provided fresh milk with which to make it. This recipe alone is worth the price of the book. I’ve tried it and it really works!
Hot chocolate--chocolate was an imported treat from Mexico
Beans--the recipe makes a simple seasoned bowl of beans
Red chile sauce--a condiment
Carne adovada--seasoned pork
Quelites--cooked, seasoned greens; in northern New Mexico this dish is traditionally made from a wild plant called “lamb’s quarters” but describes a wide variety of greens. This recipe is made with spinach.
Calabacitas--cooked and seasoned squash
Sopaipillas--fried pastries that puff up when you fry them, traditionally eaten drizzled with honey
Pumpkin empanaditas--little handheld pastries filled with spiced pumpkin
Posole stew--a thick stew made with hominy
Green chile stew--a stew made with green chiles.
Bizcochitos--sugar cookies flavored with anise
Tamales--a sort of dumpling that’s steamed inside dried corn husks and usually filled with seasoned pork or chicken
Basically everything here is still eaten even today in modern New Mexico. The bizcochito is the state cookie, and everyone around here buys tamales from their neighbor’s grandma who makes dozens of batches to sell locally at Christmastime. And of course, New Mexico is the green chile capital of the world, with the Hatch chile being considered the finest! A lot of things here haven’t changed much over the centuries, and food is one of the things that has endured.
Then you get to Molly’s cookbook, and you remember that sometimes, old traditions aren’t always worth keeping and maybe change is a good thing..... and yes, I’m specifically calling out THIS:

Veracruz’s Calabacitas Con Queso Taco Recipe Is Peak Summer
Co-owner Reyna Vazquez shares her favorite refreshing taco from the widely beloved Austin truck
Whether or not you’re from Austin, you’ve probably heard that Veracruz All Natural slings the city’s best tacos. Sisters Reyna and Maritza Vazquez co-own the cerulean taco truck, which has become synonymous with handmade tortillas, fresh salsas, and the now-iconic (and very beloved) migas tacos.
When cooking at home, the Vazquez sisters rely on the same comforting flavors wrapped around a tortilla as they do in the truck. As part of Eater at Home, Reyna took over Eater’s Instagram to share how she prepares her calabacitas con queso taco, a refreshing mixture of zucchini and summer squash, cooked with queso fresco, tomatoes, and corn. Check out the recipe and video below.
Calabacitas Con Queso Taco
Makes 6 tacos
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup of whole kernel sweet corn
1⁄2 cup chopped red onion, divided
1⁄2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1⁄2 cup cilantro
1⁄4 cup thinly sliced jalapeño
2 cups sliced zucchini
2 cups of sliced yellow squash
6 slices of avocado
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup of cooked rice
1 cup of cooked whole beans
6 tortillas of your choice
12 ounces of queso fresco, cut into rectangles
In a large pot, cook 1 tablespoon oil and half of the chopped red onion until very dark (they should look black). Add black beans and season with salt. Mash the mixture until they start to become creamy. Add the cooked rice. In Mexico, this is called casamiento, which means marriage. Set mixture aside.
In a pan on high heat with oil, add zucchini and squash. Add butter, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Add the remaining red onion, tomato, bell peppers, corn, and jalapeño. Cook for five minutes on high heat, stirring often. The mixture should become saucy.
Add the queso fresco and bay leaves. Cover pan with a lid until queso fresco begins to melt (about three minutes).
To build a taco, take a warm tortilla, and spread the casamiento. Add the vegetable and queso fresco, and top with avocado. Enjoy!
