Tilapia with Chili Lime Succotash

Tilapia with Chili Lime Succotash

Been making this little dish for awhile, it’s a pretty simple light meal with some good flavors. The Biggs by us always has tilapia that is fresh and usually only about $6.99/lb. I believe succotash has to have corn and lima beans, or maybe just corn. Anyway…
