A local restaurant makes awesome charred tacos that are a lot like these. Their marinade recipe's a secret, so I invented my own. Light the coals and have them anytime. -Denise Klibert, Shreveport, Louisiana

Overall, I thought these tacos were pretty good. The chicken was a little dry, but the chiles rellenos were delicious. I would make this recipe again, but I would make a few changes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken was dry and my chiles rellenos were mushy. I won't be making this recipe again.

These tacos were a bit too bland for me. I think I would add more spices next time.

The chicken was a little dry, but the chiles rellenos were amazing! I would definitely make this recipe again, but I would marinate the chicken for longer next time.
