A New Take on Beans and Rice


Instead of red beans and rice, I cooked black beans and cous cous. The black beans came from the farmer's market. They were dried in a bag on one of the vendor's table. Most of the beans they sell are fresh, in a cooler on ice, so I was curious about these. I asked how much they were and the guy said I could have them. I was worried something was wrong with them but I took them home and cooked them and they were just fine. I didn't want to cook rice, opting for something a little healthier. The whole wheat cous cous cooked up very easily and made a lot. So I've been eating black beans (spiced with a recipe online), cous cous, and ketchup for a few days.

Today I decided to do something a little different, adding local Japanese spinach and wrapping everything in toasted corn tortillas. It was so delicious and so easy!
