Preparation

Marinate the Protein
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the carne asada (or chicken or shrimp) and coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

While the protein is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips and set aside.
Cooking

Cook the Protein
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated protein. Cook carne asada for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. If using chicken, ensure it's cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). For shrimp, cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
