Tilapia Wrap with Side Salad

After pan-frying tilapia for the first time for dinner the night before, I decided to use the leftovers and make a form of wrap with them. We had many veggies and ingredients that I could play with so, I decided to try it out. What a tasty meal! The wine added made such a difference and the sauteed vegetables along with the mild tilapia and mozzarella tasted so good! I wanted another one after it was done. Then I added a small salad on the side to get some more greens on my plate. It was a nice touch and very refreshing.
