- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 2 Tablespoons chipotle pepper in adobe sauce
- ½ cup chunky salsa
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- 1 lime sliced for garnish
- 1 bunch cilantro for garnish
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a food processor or blender, blend chipotle peppers, salsa, and lime juice. Place in a shallow bowl.
Place crushed tortilla chips in a separate shallow bowl.
Dredge tilapia through the chipotle mixture and then through the tortilla chips. Place the fillets in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the fillets easily flake with a fork and the edges are browning.
Garnish with limes and cilantro before serving.
