Description
A colorful and flavorful chicken rice bowl inspired by street corn, topped with zesty lime crema.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cilantro-lime rice)
- 2 chicken breasts (grilled and sliced)
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/2 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and toss in the corn kernels. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they turn lightly charred, and season them with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Once they’re perfectly seasoned, set the corn aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to create a zesty lime crema. Adjust the lime juice according to your preference for tanginess.
- Now, let’s assemble the bowls! Start by placing a generous scoop of your preferred cooked rice at the bottom. Layer the grilled chicken slices on top, followed by the beautifully charred corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, red onion, and sprinkle the cotija cheese.
- Drizzle the lime crema all over your colorful creation and garnish with fresh cilantro for that final touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy every delicious bite!
