Receta Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice
This tops my favorites of ways to prepare Tilapia. The recipe was one of the winners a few years ago in a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation. Using prepared jars of red roasted peppers and chipotle salsa cuts down on the preparation, but certainly not the taste of this snappy Spanish entree. (See "Useful Links" below for the chicken version of this recipe.)
