Tilapia Over Spicy Kidney Beans with Chili Sauce
We added some spicy cayenne peppers to this tilapia recipe for some extra heat and color, but feel free to lose them altogether or substitute them with green or red bell peppers for less heat. Try a spicy breading for the tilapia, or sprinkle some Cajun seasoning into your breadcrumbs before frying them up.
Ingredients
- 4 2.5 ounce tilapia fillets
- 2 cayenne peppers, diced
- 1 can red kidney beans (15 ounces)
- 1 cup egg noodles, cooked and drained
- 3 tablespoons chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Breading for tilapia
Cooking Directions
- In a sauce pan, combine kidney beans, chili sauce, chili powder, and olive oil. Heat to medium, then reduce to simmer.
- Add noodles and cayenne peppers, then stir.
- Meanwhile, very lightly bread tilapia (simply dip them wet into a bowl of breading). Fry in spray oil over medium heat about 5 minutes, then flip and fry another 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and white and flakey.
- Transfer kidney bean and noodle mixture to two bowls and top each with two tilapia fillets.
- Garnish with whole cayenne peppers and serve!
