Chili Lime Skewers

Ingredients:

Marinade: 2 Tbsp. Chili powder; ¼ cup lime juice, 1 tsp. cracked black pepper, pinch of sea salt, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 Tbsp. honey
1 lb. protein of choice (cut to size to stick on your skewers)- chicken, shrimp, scallops, organic tofu, cubed beef or lamb
3 bell peppers
2 zucchini or yellow squash
1 Tbsp. avocado oil

Preparation:

In a glass bowl, add the marinade ingredients and whisk well. Add the protein of your choice to the bowl, and coat it. Cover and let sit in the fridge for 1-3 hours.
Prepare the skewers- cut peppers and summer squash into cubes and rounds that will stick on the skewers. Toss them in a bit of oil. And set aside.
Once the protein is done marinating, take it out of the fridge, and start placing the pieces on the skewers, alternating with the vegetables until the skewers are full with about 3-4 inches of room at the bottom to hold them.
On medium high heat on the grill, place the skewers and cook on both sides for about 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the protein. Once the protein and veggies are cooked and tender, take off the grill and allow to cool slightly. Enjoy with a side of carbs for a complete meal!
