Roll crescent dough out and place on pizza pan, kinda like a sun with edges overlapping, in a circle, with points going out. There should be about a 5-inch circle space in the center. Spoon meat mix carefully around the circle space, not touching the pizza pan. Take crescent tips and fold over meat and tuck underneath.
• Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, prepare lettuce, tomato, olives, onion,salsa, and sour cream on plates. Serve taco ring with this preparation of taco toppings.
• Serve cucumber salad on the side.

• Remove the fish from the grill, let cool slightly, and then pull apart into large flakes.
• Place the tortillas on a work surface.
• Line each with a piece of lettuce and top with chunks of fish.
• Top each with a generous spoonful of Cucumber Salsa, a squirt of lime, and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Garnish with avocado and radishes and serve.
• Cucumber salsa:Place all the ingredients in a bowl, combine well and let stand, covered, for at least 30 minutes.
• Will keep 24 hours refrigerated.
• Note: I always use halibut.
• You can cook it any way you choose, but I normally us a very very hot covered grill and do not turn the fish.
