Preparation

Marinate the Meat
In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts and steak with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the meat is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Vegetables
While the meat is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
Cooking

Grill the Meat
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken and steak from the refrigerator. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting to your desired doneness. Once cooked, let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Add salt and pepper to taste.
