4 (6 ounce) fillets catfish
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup cheap beer
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 ounces processed cheese, cubed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 chipotle pepper, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

1
In a shallow dish, stir together 1/4 cup of lime juice and beer. Place fish in the dish, and turn to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a roasting rack with cooking spray, and place over a baking sheet.
3
Rinse fish with cold water, and pat dry. Discard the marinade. In one dish, stir together the cornmeal, tortilla chip crumbs, salt and pepper. In another dish, stir together 2 tablespoons of lime juice and canola oil. Dip fillets into the lime and oil, then into the cornmeal mixture to coat. Place the fish onto the roasting rack.
4
Bake fish for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. While the fish is baking, combine the processed cheese, chili powder, cumin, and chipotle pepper in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until melted and smooth.
5
Place fish onto serving plates, and spoon the cheese sauce over them. Top with a sprinkling of cilantro leaves, if desired.
