Tony's Tilapia
I've been experimenting with various ways of cooking tilapia and have now perfected my recipe so I shall share it with you here:

Ingredients:
1 tilapia (bereft of skin and bone);
cracked blacked pepper;
ground cumin;
ground coriander;
paprika powder;
ground cardamom;
2 corn tortillas.

Apparatus:
a flat-bottomed non-stick frying-pan;
a flat-bottomed frying-pan;
a plastic spatula.

Method:
1. Place the tilapia in the non-stick pan and begin heating slowly over a medium flame.
2. Sprinkle the aforementioned spices over the tilapia in quantities to taste.
3. Flip the tilapia over and sprinkle spices on the other side.
4. When the tail end of the tilapia begins to flake slightly, flip it over again and slice it along the spine into roughly symmetric halves.
5. Once the exposed area loses its translucency, flip the two pieces over again.
6. Heat each tortilla up on the other pan, flipping them over part-way through so that they get heated evenly on both sides.
7. Turn off both stoves.
8. Place each piece of tilapia onto a tortilla and fold the tortillas over in half to cover the tilapia.

Observation:
this meal should probably be supplemented by some vegetables.
