Instructions

In a skillet on the stove top, cook tilapia fillets in coconut oil about 5-8 minutes until done.
Remove fish from skillet and place in a large bowl.
Break apart the fillets with a fork so that the fish is in tiny chunks. Set aside. Clean the skillet.
Place skillet on the stovetop with 1 T. coconut oil.
Add in onion, garlic, peppers, garlic salt and pepper to taste.
Cook until onions and peppers are soft and slightly golden.
While onion and pepper mixture is cooking, stir occasionally.
Shred cheddar cheese and place on a large dish.
Dice tomatoes and place on the dish next to the cheese.
Shred lettuce and place next to lettuce and cheese.
When onion and pepper mixture is cooked, put mixture into a pretty bowl by itself. Serve with warm corn tortillas and build your own tacos! Get my Chunky Guacamole recipe!

For a pretty Cinco de Mayo table, try something like this:

•Pull out a striped table cloth (with matching or vibrant colored napkins).

•Mix and match plates (biege with orange, yellow, green or red).

•Pair place settings with green, gold or red goblets or glasses.

•For a fun place setting visit your local nursery and put some succulents together with cactus. At Michael’s I found a faux flower that I placed in the middle of this centerpiece!
