This marinade has a deliciously fresh citrus flavor with a hint of smokey flavor that comes from the cumin and smoked paprika.

The key is using fresh squeezed juice from an orange, lemons and limes.

One great thing about this marinade is that citrus is available year round, so you can always make it.

You will be enjoying tacos in NO time all, and you can dream of summer walks along the beach and stopping at a taco stand no matter what the temperature is.

Depending on how much spice you like, you can double the seasonings as well as add some tomato bouillon!

    I’ve had Pollo Asado dozens of times and this is more lemony I prefer more spices to cut though the acidity of the citrus juices. I didn’t try it this way, but you would probably have to triple or quadruple the spices for the flavor to come through.
