Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 2 ears corn, kernels cut from the cob

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 pound tilapia fillets

  • cooking spray

  • ¼ cup blackened seasoning

  • 4 (6 inch) corn tortillas

  • 1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
