Crispy Chipotle Lime Tilapia with Cool Avocado Sauce

Description

My husband loves this zesty Southwestern-style fish. You can make it with any of firm whitefish–like cod or halibut–if tilapia isn’t available. You can even use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I usually make a package of red or black beans with rice to serve with it while the fish cooks. If you have any leftovers, they make great fish tacos.

Ingredients

  • 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the can
  • ¼ cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • ½ (8 ounce) package tortilla chips, crushed
  • 1 small avocado – peeled, pitted, and cut into large chunks
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
