COUSCOUS TACOS



Couscous Tacos image

From a vegetarian cookbook of mine. I love Couscous (KOOS-koos)- it is a quick-cooking grain made from ground semolina in the shape of very tiny beads, so it is a cool change from regular pasta! Also, I suppose you can use soft shell tacos shells, not just hard shell.

1 box instant couscous
1 cup green coriander, roughly chopped
1 cup dried apricots, diced
1 cup scallions, diced

Steps:

  • Follow directions on box for preparation of couscous. Add all other ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choose the right couscous: Look for a medium-grain couscous, as it cooks quickly and has a fluffy texture.
  • Toast the couscous: This step adds a nutty flavor and helps to prevent the couscous from becoming gummy.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is what gives the couscous its flavor, so use a broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables add color, texture, and nutrients to the tacos.
  • Choose your protein: You can use any protein you like in your tacos, such as chicken, beef, pork, or tofu.
  • Don't overcook the protein: Overcooked protein is tough and chewy.
  • Use fresh toppings: Fresh toppings, such as cilantro, tomatoes, and avocado, add a pop of flavor and color to the tacos.
  • Serve with your favorite sauce: Serve the tacos with your favorite sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
