Came up with this last night on a whim (as usual). Super easy and super tasty. Only 6 ingredients! Will definitely go on my list of regulars. I used individually frozen tilapia fillets from Costco, but you could always use fresh if you had to. LOL... More

Ingredients
  • Tilapia fillets (I used 5)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 7oz. can chopped green chiles (mild or hot)
  • 1 small can enchilada sauce (I used hot, of course, but you can use mild or med if you prefer)
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend - as much as you like - I just shook it on, 1 1/2 cups if I had to guess

Directions
  1. Place frozen fillets in single layer in appropriate size baking dish
  2. In large frying pan, saute chopped onion till about translucent
  3. Add chopped green chiles and enchilada sauce and bring to simmer
  4. Add cream cheese and incorporate till smooth
  5. Pour over tilapia fillets
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top
  7. Bake at 375* for 30 minutes (if using fresh or unthawed fish, around 20 minutes)
  8. I had it with/over black beans and rice, but hubby had his in corn tortillas with some of the rice.
