Cooking Steps
- Combine chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then rub the spice mix over the chicken pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest.
- Add corn kernels to the same skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes until charred, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, and lime juice in a small bowl to make the crema.
- Mix the charred corn with half of the cotija cheese, half of the cilantro, and the red onion in a medium bowl.
- Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized strips.
- Divide rice into four bowls, then top with the spiced chicken and corn mixture.
- Drizzle with crema, sprinkle with remaining cheese and cilantro, and garnish with avocado slices and lime wedges.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep crema separate to prevent sogginess. For best charring, use fresh corn and pat dry if using frozen.
