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.

I thought the couscous tacos were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I was disappointed with the couscous tacos. The couscous was dry and the flavors were bland.

The couscous tacos were a great way to use up leftover chicken. They were also a healthier alternative to traditional tacos.
