    2 ounces crumbled Cotija cheese
    ½ large tomato, diced
    1 cup salsa of choice
    1 avocado, skinned, pitted and sliced
    1 can refried beans (I use Goya, but any brand works)

    Directions:
    Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    In a small sauce pan, warm the beans gently over low heat.

    In a 12 inch skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the garlic and white parts of the green onions in lard until tender.

    Mix in shredded chicken, salt and pepper. Toss until well coated with oil. Stir in the salsa.

    Arrange tortilla chips on a large baking sheet or baking dish. Spread beans over the chips and top with the chicken mixture.

    Top with Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, tomato and olives.

    Fish tacos have gained a large and growing following over the last few decades. You can find them featured at numerous taquerias and Mexican restaurants. Too often, though, they are coated in batter and so off limits to people with celiac disease and gluten-sensitivity. After watching so many of my friends writhe in culinary ecstasy as they enjoyed their fish tacos, while I was relegated to standard tacos, I resolved to find a a gluten-free fish taco recipe that I could enjoy; one that would honor the simple roots of the fish taco and bring me the same level of joy as my friends so often enjoy. This simple recipe is makes delicious fish tacos without breaking your budget, or chewing up too much of your time.
    Ingredients:
    1 pound fresh swordfish, halibut or other firm white fish
