Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

- Slice the cooked chicken breast and steak into strips. Arrange them on top of the layered ingredients in the bowl.
- Drizzle sour cream and salsa over the chicken and steak. For a richer flavor, you may warm the sour cream and salsa before adding them to the bowl.
- Finish off the dish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top.
