Ingredients

  • A half cup of water
  • A can of pineapple chunks, drained (with juice set aside), weighing 15 ounces
  • A portion of couscous measuring one cup
  • Black beans from a 15-ounce can, rinsed and drained
  • One-third cup of warm water
  • Two tablespoons of taco seasoning mix

Step 1

In a saucepan over gentle heat, blend 1/2 cup of water with the flavorful reserved pineapple juice. Let it reach a boil and then swiftly remove it from the heat. Add the couscous into this delightful liquid, ensuring it's well coated. Allow it to rest until the couscous turns tender and absorbs the liquid, typically around 5 minutes. Fluff it up with a fork before dividing it onto two serving plates for a rustic touch.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a skillet set over medium heat, combine the juicy pineapple chunks with the hearty black beans. In a separate small bowl, create a zesty mixture by blending 1/3 cup of warm water with your favorite taco seasoning. Pour this flavorful concoction over the bubbling black bean and pineapple medley. Cook and stir this delightful fusion until it's piping hot, usually taking about 5 to 7 minutes. Finally, generously spoon this savory mixture over the fluffy couscous for a mouthwatering presentation. Enjoy your colorful and flavorful creation!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Embrace the tropical vibes and store your pineapple in the fridge to keep it fresh and juicy until you're ready to use it.
  2. 2. Keep your black beans in a sealed container in the pantry for easy access when you're craving a quick and nutritious meal.
