Ingredients
- 4 tilapia cut into bite-sized pieces, fillets
- 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 tbsp. taco seasoning try making your own
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/2 c. onion chopped
- 1/2 c. chopped red yellow, or orange bell pepper
- 1/2 c. green bell pepper chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 c. Mexican rice
- 1 black beans 14 oz can or 1 lb. cooked
- 1 c. salsa
- 4 tablespoons cotija cheese crumbled
- 2 tbsp. cilantro chopped leaves
Instructions
- Rinse the tilapia pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and taco seasoning in a pie plate or shallow dish. Lightly dredge the tilapia pieces through the flour, shaking off any excess back into the dish. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion, bell peppers, and cumin to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add another 1 tbsp. vegetable oil in the pan. Once hot, add the tilapia pieces in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (no longer translucent in the center).
- Set out four bowls, and layer 1/4 of the ingredients in each bowl in the following order: Mexican rice, black beans, fajita veggies, tilapia, salsa, cotija cheese, and cilantro leaves.
Notes
- Store the leftovers of your Fish Taco Bowl components separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. While you can freeze the cooked tilapia and vegetables for up to a month, the rice and beans may become overly soft upon thawing.
- Reheat the tilapia and vegetables in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, and microwave the rice and beans with a splash of water to keep them moist.
