Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Marinate the Protein
Choose your protein option (steak, shrimp, fish, or carnitas). Place the protein in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
Cooking
- 3
Cook the Protein
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the protein from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Cook steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare; shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink; fish for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through; and carnitas should be heated until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.
Serving

Plate and Garnish
Once cooked, remove the protein from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the steak, or serve shrimp, fish, or carnitas as is. Top with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, sliced avocado, and sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
