Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Marinate the Meats
Place the sliced chicken, steak, and shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the meats and seal the bag. Ensure the meats are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
