Tortilla Crusted Tilapia

By msweeney

I'm not fond of fish, but even I like this dish. Tilapia is mild, and the spicy crust is very appealing. I like to make the crumb crust in bulk and freeze in meal sized amounts. Then this becomes a super quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients

• 4 tilapia fillets
• 6 corn tortillas, torn in pieces
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1 egg, beaten
