A quick and simple lunch with black beans and couscous providing protein. Along with the taco seasoning’s heat, you will adore the sweet pineapple. If it appears that the couscous needs additional water, you may need to do so depending on how much liquid your pineapple had.

Reviews
Love this; perfect as a dip/spread on crackers.
This is the second time I have made this but this time added 1 tsp. of smoky paprika. Otherwise I followed it exactly. It’s good on toasted Hawaiian bread. It has just a little heat. I could use just a little more and it would be fine.
Served this with baguettes bakes in oven with olive oil, then sprinkled with herbs while hot. Topped with tomato jam. This was a hit at Thanksgiving and will definitely make it again. I will take a picture the next time!
This Kickin Pimento Cheese Spread is Excellent ! Great kick & new twist
this recipe is fantastic! We used to buy a similar cheese dip at the grocery store and this is so much better. thanks for sharing
Followed recipe exactly. Family commented on how good it is and liked the extra hot kick to it.
We replaced the pimento with roasted peppers for an amazing option. Love variety recipes!
My family loves pimento cheese, so, I am always looking for a new recipe to try. I have never tried a recipe using sour cream, but, this was very good. It tasted more like a cheese spread instead of traditional pimento cheese because you didn’t get a strong mayonnaise taste. I did add a little extra cheddar cheese. It was very flavorful and I will make it again.
