Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    No change.

  • Nopales are the fleshy oval leaves, or pads, of the prickly pear cactus. They taste slightly tart. Look for cans of nopales in the Mexican section of your supermarket.

  • When cooked, the lean white flesh of the tilapia is sweet, mild, tender and has no "fishy" flavor. The tilapia at your market may be from a fish farm in this country or from the fresh waters of Colombia or Costa Rica.

Ingredients

  • 4  tilapia fillets (1 1/2 lb)
  • 1  medium onion, sliced
  • 1  cup green tomatillo salsa
  • 1/2  cup sliced drained roasted red bell peppers (from a jar)
  • 8  green olives, pitted, sliced
  • 4  teaspoons olive oil
  • 1  jar (15 oz) nopales, drained, rinsed
  • Black pepper, if desired
  • 4  tablespoons finely chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 350°F. Cut 4 (18x18-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil.
  2. 2Place 1 fillet on center of each sheet. Top each with 1/4 each of the onion, salsa, roasted red peppers, olives, olive oil, nopales and black pepper. Wrap packets securely using double-fold seals, leaving a small opening so steam can escape during baking.
  3. 3Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Sprinkle with cilantro.
