Southwest Tilapia with Black Bean Jumble
plus Pico & Guacamole
- Fish
This hearty, veggie-forward meal starts with a baking sheet loaded on one side with Mexican-seasoned bell pepper, red onion, corn, and black beans. You'll add seasoned tilapia to the same sheet (hello, easy cleanup!) and roast the veggies to sweet tenderness and the fish to flaky perfection. Serve them together topped with homemade pico, guac, and a squeeze of lime.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Drain beans. Drain corn. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and dice onion. Quarter lime. Dice tomato. Roughly chop cilantro.
• Toss beans, corn, bell pepper, and half the onion on one side of a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, garlic powder, half the Mexican Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, spread veggies out across entire sheet.) Roast on top rack until veggies just begin to soften, 9-11 minutes (you’ll add tilapia to the sheet then!). • Meanwhile, in a small bowl (medium bowl for 4), combine juice from half the lime with as much remaining onion as you like. TIP: This will help soften the sharp flavor of raw onion.
• Pat tilapia dry with paper towels. Lightly drizzle with olive oil; season with remaining Mexican Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. • Once veggies have roasted 9-11 minutes, lightly drizzle empty side of sheet with olive oil; carefully add tilapia. Roast on top rack until veggies are tender and fish is cooked through, 8-11 minutes more. (For 4 servings, leave veggies roasting; arrange tilapia on a second baking sheet and roast on middle rack.) • While fish and veggies roast, add tomato, cilantro, salt, and pepper to bowl with onion. Stir to combine.
• Divide black bean jumble between plates; top with tilapia. Top with a squeeze of lime juice, guacamole, and pico (draining first). Serve.
Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
I really like the black bean and corn jumble, it just seems to be missing something. Like a grilled flavor on the corn or something. If I see this side again I'll probably add some smoked paprika to give it a little smoky flavor. It was all very good, though and went well with some homemade flatbread.
The instructions on roasting the vegetables ended up with dried out black beans. Roasted way too long, should just have been roasted along with the timing for the fish, not separately ahead of the fish. The fish itself was very good, not happy with the veggies!
It's surprisingly easy and so delicious! I really like the taste of tilapia and the seasonings just added to all that goodness.
This was a 5 out of your 4 stars! Loved it. Tasted great and the one sheet pan cooking was great for me
This was fantastic!! Very filling for low calories. Hope this is added to the permanent rotation. My only complaint was the package of corn had split open and drained all over the contents of the bag. Luckily, I had a small can of corn to use.
Very easy, simple meal but felt very healthy, will make this again and more often for quickness and healthiness!
Nice switchup on the tilapia and enjoyed the jumble - could add a little more corn for crunch and color.
Tilapia is my favorite and the corn, bean mixture was good. Lots of veggies and could do all in the oven was perfect
Fish was very fresh and large pieces! Quick, easy recipe that tastes great.
Satisfying flavors and large portion for the amount of calories
