Marinate Proteins
Choose your protein (steak, chicken, tilapia, chorizo, shrimp, or carnitas) and marinate as follows: For steak and chicken, use a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. For tilapia and shrimp, use olive oil, lime juice, and chili powder. For chorizo, simply slice it into rounds. For carnitas, warm them up in a skillet.
