Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs and coat well with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken thighs. Sear each side for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  3. Prepare the corn mixture by combining sweet corn kernels, sliced red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, and Cotija cheese in a separate bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
  4. Warm the prepared rice in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water for about 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  5. Assemble the bowls by dividing the warm rice among serving bowls, topping each with the sliced chicken and corn mixture. Garnish with Cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
