- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup tomato sauce

Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, and onion. Season with salt, stir, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Prepare the sauce: Add tomato sauce, minced garlic, olives, capers, jalapeño slices, and white wine to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano. Stir well to combine.
- Season the fish: Season both sides of the tilapia fillets with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the fillets on top of the Veracruz sauce in the skillet.
