{Grilled Tilapia Packets}

For all you "Grill Masters" out there, this blog post is just for you! 

My hubby and I enjoy grilling.  Well, actually Stephen grills and I enjoy whatever he makes {hehe}.  In fact, that is one way he swept me off my feet when we first started dating, he grilled all the time for me.  Just ask our family and friends: he's famous for his steaks and bacon-wrapped jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese {they're TO DIE FOR}.  He came up with a creative little recipe one weekend and after a few tweaks, he's perfected it.  It's super delicious and very healthy.  Grilled Tilapia with veggies in a cute little foil packet. 

{Grilled Tilapia Packets}

Tilapia Fillet(s), fresh
Lemons
Onion, Sliced Thin
Veggies of Choice: {bell peppers, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.}
Cilantro
Olive Oil
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Chili Powder, to taste
Cooking Spray

{Directions}
Lay out pieces of foil {one for each piece of fish}, spray each foil piece lightly with cooking spray.  In a small bowl mix the salt, pepper, chili powder, cilantro and fresh squeezed lemon juice with olive oil.  Brush the mixture gently on both sides of the fish.  Lay fish on foil and place whatever veggies you please on the fish.  Wrap it up and slap it on the grill for 20 minutes, 10 minutes each side on high heat. 

{Notes from Mrs. Munana}:  Hubby says to make sure you have extra cilantro and lemon juice for topping the fish once it's cooked.  You can also heat up some corn tortillas and make fish tacos!  We've found that Reasors has the best selection of fish, check out their meat counter!

Tilapia: 4 oz = 3 WW points
Olive Oil = 1 Tbsp = 4 WW Points

 
Xox,
