This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less chipotle sauce next time.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The tortilla crust added a nice crunch and the chipotle sauce was very flavorful.

This tortilla-crusted tilapia was a hit with my family! It was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and the chipotle sauce added a delicious smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
