Comments on: Spicy Couscous Cups with Black Turtle Beans http://beckyandthebeanstock.com/?p=43 Eating my way through a year's worth of heirloom beans Mon, 22 Nov 2010 01:49:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.5 By: frondmaker http://beckyandthebeanstock.com/?p=43&cpage=1#comment-51 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:01:12 +0000 http://beckyandthebeanstock.com/?p=43#comment-51 I tried these over the weekend and they came out SPICY! It wasn’t a bad thing but not everyone in my family could eat them. So I’ll just second the statement that the spiciness of the oil and the amount you use will have a big impact on the outcome. For me they were great — not so much for my 11 year old nephew. Also, I did use the goat cheese and thought it kind of brought the flavors together. It also probably toned down the heat a bit.

I can’t wait to try these! Since i can’t eat the wheat tortillas though or the couscous (yep, i’m gluten free for all of those that don’t know me), I wonder how corn tortillas would do? I thought about using brown rice tortillas too, but they are very thick and you recommended against that. There are also teff tortillas I can get my hands on, but corn might work. And instead of cous cous, quinoa would be my grain of choice!
I’ll try to find the chance to make this with these substitutions, Becky, and I’ll let ya know how it turns out!
YUM!
