Here are two ideas!

On the top is a more realistic texture (a la Spelunky) and on the bottom is cartoonier texture, which I imagine is what you're going for. My general process for drawing dirt tiles goes like this...Start with the dark shade, add a solid 1-color texture, shade that texture, apply it to the tiles, then darken the edges to give a bevelled look like in New Super Mario Bros. It's not the most organic-looking texture, but it's a quick method that's easy to learn. You might also want to go in and break up the outlines of your grass tiles. Having the edges be a perfect square doesn't look very natural.
