This Southwestern Tilapia is baked to perfection in a warm blend of spices . It is baked to flaky perfection in minutes . Round this meal out with Spanish rice , black beans and sliced avocado and you have a simple healthy meal. We loved this topped with a spoon full of Texas Caviar, but this is optional. The thing I love about tilapia is it is very mild in flavor and it cooks very quickly.    You can have a whole meal made in 30 minutes or less.
