Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lime zest from half the lime, salt, and pepper. Toss in the chicken to coat it well.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side until golden and reaches 165°F internally. Remove and slice.
- In the same skillet, add the corn kernels and cook until lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Stir in the mayonnaise, a squeeze of the remaining lime juice, and a pinch of chili powder.
- Warm the black beans in a small pan or microwave until heated through.
Assembly
- To assemble, divide the rice among bowls, then top with black beans, sliced chicken, and the street corn mixture.
- Sprinkle on cotija cheese and chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
Store leftovers separately for optimal texture; they last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Don’t skip the lime — it adds a refreshing zing to the dish.
