I'm not fond of fish, but even I like this dish. Tilapia is mild, and the spicy crust is very appealing. I like to make the crumb crust in bulk and freeze in meal sized amounts. Then this becomes a super quick weeknight meal.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets
6 corn tortillas, torn in pieces
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 egg, beaten

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2
Place tortilla pieces, pepper, lime juice, cilantro and spices in blender. Pulse until the mixture is uniform small crumbs. Spread on plate.
3
Beat egg in shallow dish.
4
Dip each fillet in egg, then in crumbs, patting crumbs to adhere. Place on baking sheet.
5
Bake until fish flakes, about 15 minutes depending on thickness of fillets.

This is the one I've been looking for! The hospital served this when I had my second baby and I needed to have the recipe. Thanks, my family was getting sick of bland fish.

I just started cooking fish, for some reason I have always been afraid I would ruin it. This was fabulous! My husband and I loved it.

Very easy fish recipe to prepare, and spicy enough so that it is not a bland dish. I love spicy food, and it being a light meal, I loved it even more! Thank you for a great tilapia recipe.
