1
Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine fresh lime juice, honey, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
2
Add Cilantro
Fold in the chopped cilantro into the marinade mixture.
3
Marinate
Place your choice of protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu) in a large zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the protein, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
4
Cook the Protein
Remove the protein from the marinade and discard the marinade. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the protein until fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the type of protein.
5
Serve
Once cooked, serve hot with additional lime wedges and sprinkle with extra cilantro if desired.
