Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic cloves, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Place the steak, chicken breasts, and pork chops in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    While the meat is marinating, chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Set the chopped vegetables aside and prepare the grill.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Remove the meats from the marinade and shake off excess liquid. Discard the leftover marinade.

  3. 7

    Place the marinated steak, chicken breasts, and pork chops on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side for the steak (depending on thickness), 6-7 minutes for chicken, and 5-6 minutes for pork chops, or until fully cooked.

  4. 8

    In the last few minutes of grilling, add the chopped vegetables and serrano peppers to the grill. Grill until they are tender and slightly charred, about 4-5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 9

    Once cooked, remove the meats and vegetables from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.

  2. 10

    Slice the steak and chicken breasts, then arrange on a platter with the grilled vegetables and pork chops.

  3. 11

    Serve hot, with additional lime wedges and your favorite salsa on the side.
