INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the Roasted Tomatillo Salsa and Crema recipes which are
included in this collection. In a medium saucepan, heat the lard over
medium-high heat. Saute the onion, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4
minutes, or until golden. Add the garlic, salt and pepper, reduce the
heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add
the mashed beans and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until
the liquid evaporates and the beans form a mass that pulls away from
the sides and bottom of the pan -- about 10 more minutes. Stir in the
tomatoes and thyme and set aside. Brush a grill or griddle pan with
the olive oil and heat until very hot. Grill the fish for about 3 to 5
minutes on a side, depending on its thickness, or until firm. Do not
overcook. Cut the fish into 1/2-inch chunks. To fill the gorditas,
place an equal quantity of the refried white beans, grilled fish,
Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, lettuce, Crema and feta inside the pocket of
each and serve immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings. Recipe
