How to Make South Beach Diet Spicy Grilled Fish And Peppers

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Place 1 pound fish fillets in a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the dressing mixture over the fish.
  4. Place 1 bell pepper (any color), seeded and sliced, in a separate resealable plastic bag. Pour the remaining dressing mixture over the peppers.
  5. Seal both bags, pressing out excess air.
  6. Turn bags several times to evenly coat the fish and peppers.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to marinate (longer is better!).
  8. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade.
  9. Remove peppers from marinade, reserving the marinade.
  10. Place peppers on the preheated grill.
  11. Top peppers with fish fillets.
  12. Cover the grill with the lid.
  13. Grill for 4 minutes.
  14. Carefully turn the fish and peppers.
  15. Brush the fish and peppers with the reserved pepper marinade.
  16. Grill, covered, for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the peppers are tender.
  17. Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes.
  18. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or your preferred low-fat cheese) and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
