Tex mex recipes

I'm trying to make dinner tomorrow night and I was planning on making black bean tacos with homemade shells and chicken and avocado. Does anyone have any good healthy dip recipes?

There are several. Guacamole, red salsa from tomatoes, green salsa from tomatillos. Surely you can find plenty of them online. For guacamole, I recently found at Walmart something called Tarana Guacamole Spice kit, which includes a mixture of all the spices used in guacamole, all you need to do is spoon it out of the jar and mix it into the avocado. I don't complain about the green almost guacamole dips you can buy in the refrigerated section, but they are not guacamole.

Chipotle cream - Mix sour cream or greek yogurt (or Mexican crema if you can find it) with a few tablespoons of the sauce from a can chiles in adobo. Stir in some lime zest. I drizzle this on tacos all the time.

Corn & black bean salsa - 1can of black beans, 1.5-2 cups of frozen corn (or fresh roasted), one finely diced jalapeno, small diced red onion, 2-3 cloves of garlic. Dressing - juice of one lime, lime zest, chili powder,cumin, honey, salt, pepper, olive oil. Add some halved cherry tomatoes or chopped cilantro if you want.
