OR, the simple and easy method: get the onion ready and have the containers of oil, sherry, sage, chili powders, cumin, salt, and pepper sitting nearby; then just sprinkle some on of each ingredient on the individual layers of onion rounds, drizzle with more oil and sherry when complete, let marinate, and grill (that's what I actually did).
