Tortilla Crusted Tilapia with Avocado Spread

This recipe turned out better than expected and even my hubby licked the crumbs off the plate...that means this was better than just "good."

Tortilla Crusted Tilapia:
Ingredients:
2 cups tortilla chips
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2-3 tilapia fillets, thawed
Cooking spray
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, pour about 2 cups of tortilla chips into a sealed gallon sized plastic bag; break chips into a crumb consistency using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Dredge tilapia fillets in 2 beaten eggs in a seperate dish and then cover with tortilla chip crumbs patting each side gently to help crumbs adhere. Salt and pepper to taste. Place fillets in a greased glass cooking dish and bake for 6 minutes. Remove dish from oven and flip fillets to other side and continue to cook in oven for 3-5 minutes; fish should fall apart with fork.

Avocado Spread:
Ingredients:
1 Avocado
A couple dashes of soy sauce
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Blend all ingredients for avocado spread in a blender or blend by hand using a fork. Use as garnish for the tortilla crusted tilapia.

I served this with Spanish rice and green beans and turned out to be a colorful, flavorful and satisfying meal!
