Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 6 (4 ounce) red snapper fillets (or any firm fleshed fish such as tilapia or cod)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 6 ounces green chili sauce (just buy it canned)
• 3 ounces diced green chilies (just buy it canned)
• 1 lb monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend (grated)
• 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves (garnish)
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350.
• 2 coat fillets with flour seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
• 3 heat butter in skillet and lightly sautee fillets in butter til done and flaky.
• 4 transfer fillets into individual casserole dishes or small oven proof bowls.
• 5 divide sauce and chilis among them evenly and then sprinkle cheese over each evenly.
• 6 bake for 15 minutes till cheese is nice and melted.
• 7 sprinkle with cilantro leaves.
• 8 note:sometimes i put a layer of mexican rice (try mexican rice) or orzo flavored with some cumin in the bottom of the bowl before assembling. a one dish meal and you have only one barely dirty skillet to clean!
• 9 note:sometimes i make this just for myself. fry fish-pour a little sauce-add a tbs of chilis- sprinkle some cheese. it's not brain surgery or rocket science. save what's left in the cans for another use like adding to scrambled eggs. i hope you enjoy this dish as much as i have for many years.
