Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high. Brown ground beef and pork, breaking up clumps, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Add chicken chunks and 4 minced garlic cloves. Cook until chicken edges turn opaque, stirring often, ~3 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in broth, add potatoes and plantain. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, ~12 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Taste and adjust.
Step 5
Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges if desired.
