Crispy Chipotle Lime Tilapia with Cool Avocado Sauce Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Crispy Chipotle Lime Tilapia with Cool Avocado Sauce Recipe). 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.
