Description

Crushed ranch-flavored tortilla chips and chili powder give intense flavor to baked catfish fillets.

Ingredients

1 cup finely crushed ranch-flavored tortilla chips
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon cooking oil
4 (8 ounce) fillets catfish, washed and patted dry

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a cooking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
2 In a shallow dish, mix together crushed chips, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
3 In another bowl, mix egg and oil. Dip catfish in egg and oil mixture, then dredge in chips mixture. Place catfish on foil-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle any leftover chip mixture over the catfish.
4 Bake in a preheated oven until catfish is flaky and white in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.
