Preparation

    Marinate the Protein

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add your choice of protein (chicken, steak, or shrimp) and coat well. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

Cooking

    Cook the Protein

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated protein and cook until fully cooked (chicken: 6-7 mins, steak: 4-5 mins per side, shrimp: 2-3 mins per side). Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Add sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
