Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder (or minced garlic), salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl. Ensure each piece is coated well with the marinade. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and let rest while preparing toppings.
In a separate bowl, mix sour cream with mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in additional lime juice if desired.
On each plate or bowl, layer prepared rice as the base.
Top with sliced grilled chicken thighs, sweet corn kernels, red onion slices, and a dollop of the sour cream mixture.
Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese over each bowl.
Add fresh cilantro leaves as a garnish along with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy your flavorful Tasty Street Corn Chicken Bowl – Alrightwithme!
