Method

Instructions

Begin by grilling fresh corn on medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning frequently until kernels are charred. If using frozen corn, sauté in a skillet with butter for 5-7 minutes until golden.
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked corn, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime juice, and chili powder. Stir in chopped cilantro until well combined.
Prepare the rice according to package instructions, usually boiling with water for 15-20 minutes until fluffy.
In each bowl, place a portion of the rice, layer grilled chicken, and spoon the corn mixture over it.
Add optional garnishes like sliced avocado and lime wedges. Serve immediately while warm.
