Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Coat the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in this marinade and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 8–10 minutes on each side until cooked through and nicely browned.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine sweet corn, sliced red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, and chili powder. Mix gently and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. While the chicken rests, heat prepared rice according to package instructions and fluff with a fork.
  5. Divide the warm rice among bowls, topping with sliced chicken, street corn mix, additional cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.
