Method
Preparation of Proteins
- 1
Marinate the Proteins
If using chicken, steak, or shrimp, marinate them separately with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cook the Proteins
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken or steak and cook for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through, stirring occasionally. For shrimp, cook for about 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
