For a mouthwatering blend, start by merging the lime juice, olive oil, finely diced garlic, fresh cilantro, cumin, and spicy chili powder in a spacious mixing bowl.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring well to combine.
Pour the marinade over your choice of meat or vegetables, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Cover it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for the best flavor.
