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

1. Additionally, you may want to add avocado and cotija cheese.
2. 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.
3. As well, you can also use Slow Cooker Black Beans instead of canned.
4. 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.
