Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, then season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Street Corn
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the corn and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred. Remove from heat and mix with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime juice, chili powder, and cilantro.
Step 3: Assemble the Bowls
Start with a base of warm rice. Layer on the cooked chicken, followed by a generous scoop of the street corn mixture. Drizzle with sour cream and hot sauce if desired. Top with avocado slices and extra lime wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
