Preparation

Marinate the Proteins
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken, beef, and shrimp, ensuring everything is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Grill the Proteins
