Cut pork shoulder and chicken thighs into bite-sized cubes.

Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, adobo seasoning, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Add the meat cubes to the marinade and let sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of green bell pepper and red onion.

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until meat is cooked through and has grill marks.

Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
