Mediterranean Tilapia Weight Watchers 4 Points Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together the sun-dried tomatoes, olives and capers. Set aside.
• Place the tilapia fillets side by side in a baking dish. Drizzle with oil and lemon juice.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fish flakes with a fork. Check after 10 minutes, so as not to overcook, or the fish may be dry. When fish is done, top with the tomato mixture, and serve.

MEDITERRANEAN TILAPIA (WEIGHT WATCHERS 4 POINTS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven (or toaster oven) to 400.
• Line a shallow pan with foil. Use enough foil so that you can double it back over the top of the dish when it is ready to cook.
• Pour olive oil in a fish-size line on the foil. Place fish on top of oil, flipping it over to coat all of the fish in the oil.
• Spritz fish with lemon juice (use more or less, to your taste).
• Rub garlic across the top of the filet so it is evenly distributed.
• Sprinkle feta over the fish evenly. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Fold the foil (loosely) over the fish. This isn't critical, but it does help keep the fish moist if you should happen to overcook it.
• Bake for 6-7 minutes. Test fish for doneness by flaking with a fork. Flakes should fall apart effortlessly; you shouldn't have to "cut" the fish at all, but rather just separate the flakes.
• Some people might prefer to leave the foil off the top if they want the garlic to brown up a bit. I haven't tried this, so I can't say how it would work. You might try removing the foil in the last 2 minutes of cooking or so if you want to give it a shot.

TACO JUNK

Steps:

• Fry meat until just done.
• Drain off excess oil.
• Rinse with hot water.
• (sounds GROSS, I know, but if you're watching fat, this is an excellent way to get it out of there and you don't notice a difference in flavor!) Return meat to pan and add remaining ingredients.
• Cover and simmer on low for 1 hour.
• (I actually found that simmering for about 50 minutes worked well. It thickened it up just great).
• Estimated POINTS for Weight Watchers is 2 points for a 1 cup serving. ***Edited after first review*** You know, this is just what the recipe said. I have NO CLUE what points are. I did WW back before the fiber cap. Maybe that's where these low points come from. As the reviewer states -- best to check it yourself! :).
• (always double check your own points!) I took warmed flour tortillas and wrapped this up in them with a plop of sour cream and a bit of grated cheese.
• My daughter took corn chips and used it as a dip.
• It's sooo good!
• You can also add Salsa for some extra flavor it you'd like.
• Many different things you could do with this recipe!
• I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
