Ingredients

Method

Mix together paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper; rub all over fish.

In nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium heat; cook fish, turning once, until it flakes easily when tested, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool enough to handle; break into bite-size pieces.

Meanwhile, add remaining oil to pan; cook onion and red pepper over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and golden, about 8 minutes.

Stir in beans and corn; cook, stirring often, until corn is heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in fish and lime juice. Scrape into serving dish; serve with tortillas, cilantro and sour cream.

Change it up - Shrimp and Red Pepper Fajitas: Replace tilapia fillets with 300 g frozen raw large shrimp. Thaw, peel and devein shrimp; add to skillet along with corn. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 6 minutes.
