Tilapia And Red Pepper Fajitas

This was a huge hit with the family, and again, I'm all about prepping food days before - this recipe definitely makes the cut.

To prep, I seasoned the tilapia and put it in a ziploc in the fridge, and I chopped up the red pepper and onions and put them in a container together in the fridge.  I'll be making this again soon, it came out great.  Even after the tortillas were done, we had leftovers of the fish & toppings, which I mixed together for a lunch salad - delicious!

Thanks Canadian Living for another great weeknight meal!
