Ingredients

1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce

2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the can

1/4 cup Salsa

2 tablespoon Lime Juice

4 Tilapia fillets

1/2 (8 oz) package tortilla chips Crushed

1 small avocado peeled, pitted, and cut into large chunks

1/4 cup Sour cream

3 tablespoons Milk

Salt and pepper to taste


Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine the chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, salsa, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a blender and blend until smooth; brush the mixture over both sides of each tilapia fillet. Spread the crushed tortilla chips into the bottom of a deep dish; dredge the coated fillets in the chips to coat. Arrange the fillets on the prepared baking pan. Bake the fillets 15 minutes; turn and lightly spray with cooking spray. Continue to bake until golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. While the fish bakes, place the avocado, sour cream, and 1 tablespoon lime juice and blend until smooth. Stir in the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the consistency is similar to ranch dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the baked fillets to serve.
