Notes
Store any leftover Tortilla Crusted Tilapia in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 2 days. While freezing is possible, it may affect the texture and crispiness of the crust.
For reheating, it's best to use an oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
