A handful of lime wedges for the final touch
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Right when you're ready to eat, hit each bowl with a burst of fresh lime juice for some zip.
02 -
Start by splitting the warm rice into four. Next, pile up the sliced chicken, spoon on the corn mixture, sprinkle cilantro and extra cotija, then tuck in a lime wedge for that extra zing.
03 -
If your rice has cooled, pop some water in and warm it up gently on the stove or zap it in the microwave until steamy.
04 -
In a bowl, combine the grilled corn, red onion, cotija cheese, mayo, sour cream, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime. Mix until smooth and everything's mixed in nicely.
05 -
Heat up a skillet to medium-high. Lay in your chicken and cook until both sides are golden brown and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes each side. Rest a minute, then slice however you want.
06 -
Put together lime juice, avocado oil, chili, garlic, some salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add in the chicken and toss until coated well. Cover and chill in the fridge about 15 to 30 minutes.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Want it fiery? Add diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne right into the corn topping.
02 -
Swap jasmine rice for cauliflower rice if you're keeping it lower on carbs.
03 -
Stuff like creamy avocado, radish rounds, or quick pico de gallo also make great extras.
