Prepare black beans: Heat olive oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add two cans of drained and rinsed black beans and one cup water.
Bring to a simmer; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for about 15 inutes. (If you want a thinner consistency, add more water to taste). Season with coarse salt to taste, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Prepare tilapia: In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal and paprika; add salt and pepper to taste.
Dredge each tilapia fillet in cornmeal mixture, patting it carefully on to cover completely.
In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook as many fillets as you can (without crowding) until golden and firm (about 2-4 minutes per side).

Tagged for Paprika-September 2008 Herb/Spice in the Gardening Forum. Very good! I baked the Tilapia in a 425 degree oven for 12 minutes, in a pyrex dish sprayed with cooking spray. I liked the combination of tilapia, black beans, and salsa, and will make this again!
