Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs, coating well, and let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook marinated chicken for about 8-10 minutes on each side until golden-brown and reaching 165°F (75°C). Allow to rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare the Corn Topping: In a bowl, mix corn, diced red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, and a sprinkle of chili powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Reheat the Rice: If using leftover rice, warm it in a saucepan over low heat with a splash of water until steamy.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Distribute rice among bowls, top with sliced chicken and corn topping, sprinkle with Cotija cheese and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
