If you're doing tacos, do a different protein than chicken breast.

Lately I've just been taking my chicken/pork rub that I use and adding some water, garlic, and onions to it then letting the chicken sit in it. More of a brine than a marinade, but I find it tastes better.

If it's going to Mexican dinner, brine it with chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, cinnamon, cumin, oregeno, salt, and smoked paprika.

Just dry brine by sprinkling salt on it and let it sit overnight. Then use other seasonings to get other flavors.

Marinades barely penetrate the meat. Their salt content is more important than anything else in them. If you must marinade, slash the breasts to create more surface ares, since that's all the marinade will affect.

Salting & Brining

Here's a chicken breast after 18 hours in a marinade with green dye.

Chicken does not absorb marinade as good as beef. Coat them with this and slap them on the grill.




Or if you want to do it yourself, try this....

Brine instead of marinade like another poster said. You can get very good flavors by adding different things to your Brine

Mojo criolla. Make sure you buy one with orange and grapefruit juice, not just citric acid.

Cut the breasts in half. Throw them in a ziploc with chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, lime juice, and olive oil... I let it sit for 24 hrs and grill them. Fantastic fajita style chicken tacos.

Wife and I do this probably twice a month... We always cook enough to have enough leftovers for me to take for lunch a couple days, or she'll make a chicken pasta with it, or we'll use it for a BBQ chicken pizza. Very versatile leftovers.
