Prepare the gallo pinto by cooking black beans and rice together with spices until heated through.

Chop the bell peppers, onion, and garlic finely.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the chopped bell peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

In a separate grill or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.

Season the chicken, beef, and pork with cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Grill the meats until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness.

Let the meats rest for a few minutes before slicing them into strips.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable, about 1 minute per side.

Serve the grilled meats alongside the gallo pinto and warm tortillas.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
