Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or 2 minced garlic cloves)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Street Corn Topping:

• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (grilled, if possible, or frozen)
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1 cup sour cream (reserve half for drizzling)
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

For the Rice and Assembly:

• 3 cups cooked rice
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Season and Marinate the Chicken:
   In a bowl, mix lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thighs in the marinade and let them sit in the fridge for 15–30 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
3. Prepare the Street Corn Topping:
   In a bowl, combine the grilled or frozen corn, sliced red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, and chili powder. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice to taste.
4. Reheat the Rice:
   If using leftover rice, reheat it with a splash of water until it’s warm and fluffy.
5. Assemble the Bowls:
   Divide the rice into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, street corn topping, extra Cotija cheese, and cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges.
6. Optional:
   For extra flavor, drizzle some remaining sour cream or sprinkle Tajín over the top.
7. Serve:
   Enjoy the bowls warm with a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh burst of flavor!
