Tortilla Crusted Chipotle Lime Fish Fillet Recipes

TORTILLA CRUSTED CHIPOTLE & LIME FISH FILLET

Steps:

• -Preheat oven to 375°F Coat a baking sheet with coconut oil or olive oil. -Put tortilla pieces, pepper, lime juice, cilantro and spices in a food processor or blender. Pulse until the corn tortillas are uniform small crumbs. Spread dry-ish mixture on a plate. -Beat egg in shallow dish. -Dip each fillet in egg, then lay over crumbs, patting fillet on each side to adhere crumbs. Place on baking sheet. -Bake until fish flakes and crust is crispy, about 15 minutes depending on thickness of fillets.*** **The base of this recipe is on the mild to medium side for spiciness. As I have noted above, if you like things spicier, try adding a second pepper and/or another 1/2 tsp of chili powder. I prefer a spicier mixture myself and almost always add a second pepper to the crust mixture. It's up to you! ***Also great on the grill in the summertime, though cooking directly on the grill can be a challenge if it is flakier fish so handle carefully!
