Red Snapper (Huachinango) in Veracruz Sauce image

Found some fresh Huachinago (red snapper) at the local fish market here in La Cruz, Mexico so searched through my Cruising Cuisine cookbook, and pantry and came up with this recipe. Can also be served with cooked shrimp or crab over the baked fish and topped with jack cheese.
