Cooking Steps

Cook rice and beans
1
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse black beans.
  • Once boiling, add rice, black beans and vegetable stock powder, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 14-16 min.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges. 
  • Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. 
Make salsa
3
  • Add pineapple, tomatoes, lime juice, half the green onions, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. 
Season tilapia
4
  • Pat tilapia dry with paper towels, then cut each fillet in half crosswise.
  • Season with Cajun Spice Blend. 
Cook tilapia
5
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then tilapia. Cook until spice blend darkens and tilapia is opaque and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** 
Finish and serve
