This question has several answers:

Climatologically, they occur most often in northern Texas and much of Oklahoma.

At the Synoptic scale in meteorology, they most often occur associated with a mid-latitude cyclone. Specifically, within "Larko's Triangle", which is the area from the center of low pressure to the north, down between the cold and warm fronts in the "warm sector" where air is most unstable.

At the mesoscale in meteorology, they are often isolated from the main thunderstorm, which is often a supercell, since it is best for their internal dynamics for the storm to not interfere. On the radar, they often appear at the end of a "hook echo", a feature that looks like a hook and can trail the parent storm slightly.
Tornadoes are most likely to occur in the U.S., typically on the central plains.
