We brought the folks from Singapore to La Carita's and they loved it! Did n't know exactly what to do with the tortillas, and couldnt get over the quantity-but they ate the left overs after church that night.

I would love some Tilapia recipes- The only way I make it is pan grill it in lemon juice, olive oil and lemon pepper. We had that yesterday, but I would love to make it another way. I want to start serving it more than once a month.
