How to Make Chipotle And Dorito Crusted Tilapia

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Crack 2 large eggs into a shallow dish and whisk lightly.
  3. In a food processor, combine 1 cup crushed Doritos, 1 teaspoon chipotle powder, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Pulse until finely crushed but not powdery.
  4. Gently coat each tilapia fillet (about 4, 6-ounce fillets) in the beaten egg, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
  5. Press the egg-coated tilapia into the Dorito mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the crumbs to the fish.
  6. Place the coated tilapia fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  7. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fish.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
