Cook the Protein
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. If using chicken, add the diced chicken breast, season with salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. For steak, add the diced steak, season the same way, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking.
