  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add avocado oil, and sear the marinated chicken for about 8-10 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sweet corn, red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, and Cotija cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Warm up the cooked rice and fluff it gently with a fork. Mix in fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
  5. Assemble the bowls by placing rice at the bottom, topping with sliced chicken, and adding the corn mixture.
  6. Garnish with additional Cotija cheese and cilantro, serve with lime wedges.
