Instructions
Making the Street Corn Chicken Bowl is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps to create this flavorful meal:
1. Prepare the Chicken: If you’re using raw chicken, season with salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, and cumin. Grill or sauté in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Shred the chicken and set aside.
2. Cook the Corn: In a pan, add the corn and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it’s slightly charred and heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lime juice. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro and set aside.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, cooked corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and remaining cilantro. Toss together gently.
5. Add The Sauce: Drizzle the mayo-lime sauce over the mixture. Toss again to coat all the ingredients evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Choose your base of tortilla chips or rice, and spoon the corn chicken mixture on top. Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese.
