Like most ethnic foods that make their way into any country, it is brought by immigrants who are used to cooking a certain away and/or want to bring a little bit of "home" with them. So the answer to your question is simply that Mexicans brought them.
And although there's no way to know, there's always a chance that it was "promoted" as well by visitors to Mexico who returned to the U.S. with a menu of terrific things they had tasted and wanted to replicate...

∙ 14y agoThe grasslands of the western plains were ideal for cattle grazing. Americans did not know how to handle cattle on the western plains. Ranchers hired Mexican Vaqueros. They taught Americans how to be Cowboys. They brought their cooks with them. The cowboys ate Mexican food, liked it, and shared it with others. Some Mexican dishes like chili caught on real fast, others caught on slower, and some never caught on. (They also brought their entertainment. The rodeo caught on and bull fighting did not catch on.)
