Blackened Chipotle Tilapia

Chipotle Adobo Tilapia

This Blackened Chipotle Tilapia recipe is exactly how it sounds; spicy and delicious. You get a buttery filet that sears just enough to turn color but leave you with a tender fluffy-flaky fish that just melts in your mouth with every bite. And Thanks to the Adobo Sauce in the is recipe, you get a nice kick too which delivers a little bit of heat that I like to balance out with a mix of Mango, fresh Mint, Pineapple and Red Onion.

Tilapia Mango and Pineapple Mix

One thing that I’ve learned over the years is that fish and fruit is always a good pairing. P.F. Chang’s uses this Mango mix in their Curry Chicken Salad and it works really well with this too. So you get the best of both worlds because your tongue gets to dance back and forth between a sweet, minty fruit and a drenched, spicy Chipotle Tilapia.

If you’re interested in more of my favorite fish recipes I would highly recommend my Smothered Salmon and my Grilled Halibut in Lemon Butter. My Trout Amandine is especially delicious, if you’re into fishing.

Blackened Chipotle Tilapia Ingredients:

2 Tilapia Filets
1 can Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
2 tbsp Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste

Topping
1 cup Mango, chopped
1 cup Pineapple, chopped
1/3 cup Red Onion, chopped
1 tbsp Fresh Mint, chopped
1 tsp Red Chili Flakes

Serve the filet with a side of rice and a half cup of mixed topping to balance out the spicy Tilapia.

Fried Banana

This Fried Banana recipe is very easy to make and it takes about 10 minutes total from start to finish. That’s including the time it takes to make my fresh Berry Syrup and the link for that is down below. This recipe is something that P.F. Chang’s use to serve and I especially like it around Valentines Day. It’s a dessert that anyone can make on their first try because it’s practically fail safe. That means guys can make this for their gals with out any problems and visa versa. I’ve also added my Oreo Waffle recipe that I like to top with this Berry Syrup as well, just in case you want a Valentines breakfast idea instead.

Fried Banana Ingredients:

Bananas, 1 per serving
Egg Roll or Spring Roll Wrappers, 1 per serving
Berry Syrup, 1/2 cup per serving
Powdered Sugar, to dust the plate
Oil for Frying

Watch the short video tutorial and fry at 375° Fahrenheit for 2 to 3 minutes for a perfect Fried Banana.
