Meanwhile, cut fish into 3/4-inch slices; sprinkle with Jamaican jerk seasoning. Place strips in a light greased grill basket. Grill directly over medium-hot coals for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily, turning the basket once. Fill each tortilla with spinach or lettuce, fish, and Tropical Fruit Salsa. If desired, serve on spinach leaves. Makes 5 servings.
