Chicken Taco Marinade

The lemon juice in the marinade helps tenderize the chicken while the taco seasoning imparts traditional southwestern spices. The marinade ratio is enough for 3 to 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, allowing flexibility in portion size. After marinating, the chicken can be cooked via grilling, baking, or broiling, resulting in a flavorful main dish suitable for assembling tacos or other Mexican-inspired meals.
