How to Make Crusted Tilapia With Chipotle Lime Dressing
- **Make the Chipotle Lime Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- **Prepare the Doritos Crust:** In a food processor, combine 1 cup crushed Doritos (any flavor), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 cup finely chopped jalapeño. Pulse until finely crushed.
- **Prepare the Tilapia:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly beat 1 large egg in a medium bowl.
- **Coat the Tilapia:** Dip each tilapia fillet (about 4, 6-ounce fillets) in the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the Doritos mixture onto both sides of the fish, making sure it adheres well.
- **Bake the Tilapia:** Place the coated tilapia fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with fresh lime juice.
- **Bake:** Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
- **Serve:** Serve the tilapia immediately with the chilled chipotle lime dressing. Enjoy!
