Aztec Couscous

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, Wendy.  It is a great side dish and has wonderful flavor.

Aztec Couscous

1 cup plain couscous

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp salt

Mix together in a heatproof bowl. Pour 1 cup boiling water over couscous. Cover tightly and let sit until water is absorbed, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Toss In:

1 can black beans, rinsed

1/4 cup purple onion, finely chopped or minced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped or minced

1 jalapeno, minced (I had to reduce this to 1/2 jalapeno so my kids would eat it)

Mix in :

1-2 tbsp olive oil

3-4 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

Serve warm or at room temperature.
