Notes
- Store any leftover Tortilla Crusted Tilapia in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 2 days. While freezing is possible, it may affect the texture and crispiness of the crust.
- For reheating, it's best to use an oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
