I see no acidic elements to your "marinade." Chili pepper (mentioned in the comments) is probably basic, rather than acidic. As written (and as commented on) it sounds more like a rub than a marinade. Both rubs and marinades impart flavor to the surface of proteins. Being acidic is not a requirement of a marinade.
