Ranchero Catfish Recipe
- 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
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a cooking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In a shallow dish, mix together crushed chips, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- Bake in a preheated oven until catfish is flaky and white in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.
