Step
5 mins

Cook and stir until the mixture is heated through. (5-7 minutes)

06

Step

Spoon the pineapple and black bean mixture over the prepared couscous to serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of taco seasoning to taste.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, corn, or red onion to the black bean mixture for added nutrition and texture.
