Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a vibrant marinade. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated, and let them marinate for 15–30 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 8–10 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and let them rest before slicing.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix grilled corn kernels with diced red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, and a sprinkle of chili powder in a separate bowl. Stir well and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- In a small saucepan, add cooked rice with a splash of water. Warm over low heat for about 5 minutes until heated through and fluffy.
- Layer warm rice in individual serving bowls, top with sliced chicken and a scoop of the creamy street corn mixture. Sprinkle extra Cotija cheese on top and finish with cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes
Don't skip marinating the chicken to infuse flavor. Char the corn for authenticity. Check chicken temperature to avoid overcooking. Serve warm rice for contrast. Feel free to customize proteins or grains.
