1 tea. granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 tea. granulated onion or onion powder
1 tea. mexican oregano
1 tea. ancho (mild) or chipotle (hot) chile powder

Chicken or Fish:
4 pieces (6-8 oz each) skinless, boneless chicken breast or thick whitefish fillet (cod or pollock)
EVOO, for liberal drizzling
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees. Combine the ingredients for the spice blend (use salt and pepper to taste)

On a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish, drizzle the chicken or fish with EVOO, then rub all over with the spice blend. Top each piece with a shingled layer of the tomatoes and onion. Scatter the garlic and jalapenos on top; drizzle with more EVOO. Roast until cooked through, about 20 minutes for chicken or 15 minutes for fish.

Top the chicken or fish with queso fresco and cilantro.
