Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Cook the tilapia fillets for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers for 2 minutes until they start to soften.
In a small bowl, mix the white vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and the liquid from the canned pineapple chunks. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the sauce mixture over the bell peppers, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the pineapple chunks to the sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Return the tilapia fillets to the pan, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Serve the tilapia with the sweet and sour sauce and bell peppers on top.
