Grilled Jamaican Jerk Fish Wraps Recipe
Ordinarily we'd pass the "quick and healthy" cookbook section in lieu of something with more cheese, but if you're going to cook light, better take a page out of Better Homes and Gardens. These grilled Jamaican jerk fish wraps are as attractive to behold as they are delicious.
Meaty white fish such as flounder, cod or sole provides a nearly blank slate for all kinds of seasonings and preparations, from mild to intense. Use any one in these spicy-sweet wraps.
