We eat more and more Tex-Mex inspired recipes at my house. All four of us enjoy it and I was spending a fortune going out to eat. With three hungry men in the house, I had to develop good Tex-Mex recipes for my recipe box. Below are some of our favorite Tex-Mex recipes that you may enjoy too!

This recipe is bright and flavorful. Fresh, frozen, or canned ingredients can easily be substituted and interchanged.
The one ingredient I suggest not omitting is the lime juice and zest. It really finishes off the recipe perfectly.
Black Bean Salsa
- Additionally, you may want to add avocado and cotija cheese.
- Black Bean Salsa is great with chicken or fish tacos over salad greens, in a wrap, or over nachos. It’s very versatile. Also a bonus, you can keep every ingredient stocked in your pantry.
- As well, you can also use Slow Cooker Black Beans instead of canned.
- Finally, grilled or frozen corn can be substituted for the canned corn. This is a recipe that you can make quickly for unexpected guests, so I like to keep canned ingredients on hand for it.
