Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups Cheetos or other crunchy, cheese-flavored corn snacks
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tsp parsley flakes, chopped
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp pepper
4 (4 oz) firm, white fish fillets (e.g., tilapia or cod)
Canola oil

Steps:

1. Place flour on plate (may be paper); place eggs in shallow bowl. Place Cheetos in large zip-top bag; seal tightly and crush with fingertips until finely ground. Add panko, parsley, coriander, and pepper; mix until well-blended. Place mixture in second shallow bowl. 2. Dip each fillet in flour, coating both sides; shake off excess. Dip each fillet into egg, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, dip into Cheeto mixture, coating both sides; press with fingertips to coat evenly. 3. Preheat oil for frying in large sauté pan on medium heat. Add 1/2 of the fish fillets; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and crisp. Place on paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining fillets, adding more oil if needed. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
