Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
2 Tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1/2 cup chunky salsa
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1 lime (sliced for garnish)
1 bunch cilantro (for garnish)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a food processor or blender, blend chipotle peppers, salsa, and lime juice. Place in a shallow bowl.
Place crushed tortilla chips in a separate shallow bowl.
Dredge tilapia through the chipotle mixture and then through the tortilla chips. Place the fillets in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the fillets easily flake with a fork and the edges are browning.
Garnish with limes and cilantro before serving.
