Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice

  • 1 cup canned or fresh corn (grilled for extra flavor)

  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package directions; keep warm.

  2. Grill or pan-sear chicken breasts, then dice into bite-sized pieces.

  3. In a bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

  4. Stir in corn until evenly coated with the creamy dressing.

  5. To assemble bowls, layer rice at the bottom, top with diced chicken, spoon on the creamy corn mixture, and sprinkle with cotija cheese.
