Ingredients

  • 2 cups couscous uncooked

  • 3 small zucchini, chopped (about 3.5 cups)

Instructions

  • Cook couscous according to package directions, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 Tb butter in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Add zucchini and cook until tender and crisp. This took around 3 minutes for me.
  • Add Rotel and black beans. Stir, and cook until warmed through.
