1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 1/4 cups boiling water
 
1 clove unpeeled garlic
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup canned Mexican  corn, drained

Combine the couscous, cumin, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the boiling water and cover. Set aside for 10 minutes.
While waiting for the couscous, cook the unpeeled garlic clove in a small skillet over medium-high heat until toasted and the skin has turned golden-brown. Peel the garlic and mince.
