I'm not much of a fish eater either, but tilapia is soft and flaky and the rice and beans added great variety to the dish. Enjoyed it!

It's tough to get my kids to eat fish so I'm always looking for recipes that have a real variety of strong flavors to keep them from remembering they are eating fish. This was perfect! They love mexican food so they enjoyed this quite a bit. I thought that when they got to be teenagers they wouldn't be so picky but nope, they still are!

I usually have a hard time rating a recipe with 5 stars when it contains a lot of pre-made/boxed ingredients. This recipe, however, was surprisingly good! I was dubious about the ready-to-serve rice, but it was pretty good. You could, of course, use your own recipe. I used fire roasted diced tomatoes with medium-heat green chiles. I also used olive oil instead of butter. The best part about this recipe was it was ready in under 15 minutes (maybe even closer to 10!).
