Instructions

Prepare the rice by boiling water in a medium saucepan, then adding rice and salt. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes until tender. Toss cooked rice with chopped cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest before serving.
In a bowl, mix corn, Greek yogurt, cotija, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, jalapeño (if desired), cilantro, and salt to create the corn salad. Adjust seasoning as preferred and set aside.
Combine spices in a small bowl. Toss chicken chunks with spices in a larger bowl until evenly coated.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Assemble bowls by distributing warm cilantro lime rice into 4 bowls, ensuring there's space for toppings.
Add chicken chunks to each rice bowl. Top with a generous portion of the corn salad, diced avocado, pickled or fresh red onions, extra cilantro, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese, finishing with a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
Sprinkle Tajin over the street corn salad for extra flavor.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the spices based on your heat preference.
Use fresh ingredients to enhance the overall flavor profile of the dish.
