Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 pound Beef sirloin
• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 piece Red bell pepper
• 1 piece Green bell pepper
• 1 piece Red onion
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 6 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal)

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts and beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken, beef, and shrimp, and toss to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 5

While the meat marinates, prepare the vegetables: cut the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, slice the red onion into similar-sized chunks, and set aside the cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400–450°F).

Step 7

Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of marinated chicken, beef, shrimp, bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes until the skewers are full.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is fully cooked (internal temperature for chicken should be 165°F, beef to your preferred doneness, and shrimp turning pink and opaque).

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the skewers just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite Tex-Mex sides such as guacamole, salsa, or grilled corn.
