A quick and easy meal with protein from the black beans and couscous. You will also love the sweet pineapple with the spice from the taco seasoning. Depending on how much juice was with your pineapple, you may need to add more water to the couscous if it looks like it needs it.

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained (juice reserved)

  • 1 cup couscous
