Mexican Couscous Express

The most ridiculously easy and fast mid week meal that's darn tasty and wonderfully light. Feel free to ramp up the toppings - I just added some diced avocado and tomato to keep it fresh, but I also have it with a dollop of source cream and grated cheese. And I have also been known to add crispy tortilla chips too….
