Ancho Chili-Spiced Tilapia

This looked like a quick heart-healthy meal with lots of spice for light, flaky tilapia. We found this recipe in the Taste of Home, Simple and Delicious magazine April/May issue for 2013 and thought we would give it a try!

Ancho Chili-Spiced Tilapia
-simple & delicious test kitchen

½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground ancho chili pepper
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground cumin
4 tilapia fillets (4 to 5 oz. each)
1/3 cup reduced-fat chipotle mayonnaise
1 tsp lime juice
¼ tsp dried oregano

Combine the first six ingredients; sprinkle over fillets.  Cook fillets in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, line juice and oregano in a small bowl.

One word comes to mind – SPICEY!  If you are looking to add some spice in your life or clear the nostrils this dish is effortless & delicious and does the trick.  It was a little too salty & too spicy for us, so we would change that next time.  DEFINITELY A KEEPER!
