Ingredients

  • 6 sweet, mini bell peppers
  • 8 lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup instant brown rice (dry)
  • 1 pound tilapia filets, fresh or frozen (thawed)
  • 2 teaspoons Southwest chipotle seasoning (no sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil (divided)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

‍ Instructions

  1. Slice peppers in half vertically. Arrange lettuce and 8 pepper halves on a serving platter.
