Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This is your marinade.

Marinate the Proteins
Place the chicken breast and steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the proteins, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cooking

Cook the Proteins
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the proteins from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F). Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130-135°F), adjusting time for desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Sauté the Vegetables
While the proteins are resting, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. In a large skillet, add a little olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the sliced vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
