This is perfect for quick lunch or diner. There is so many ways you can make this but I go for this way and believe me with chopping and cooking and eating it was done in 10 minutes. It was Thursday night and that's Mexican food night in my house since so long but didn't wanted to go for any cheesy mexican dishes so take a spin of regular couscous salad to Mexican way. Only thing I was missing was Avacado. You can chopped in bite size pieces and put it on top and it taste amazing so next time when I will make this, I will make sure I have avocado to put it
Ingredients :
1 onion chopped
1 carrot chopped
3-4 garlic cloves chopped

4 tbsp. corn ( I used frozen)
1 can of Vegetable Broth
1 cup of Couscous
1 tbsp. Taco seasoning
1 tsp. Garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika powder
1 tbsp. oil

You are going to add can vegetable broth and it has sodium in it so keep that in mind, If you are using plain water then add salt that way.
