  4. Slice avocado and set aside, ensuring presentation remains intact.
  5. Layer components in bowls starting with jasmine rice, then chicken, corn, and avocado. Sprinkle cotija cheese on top.
  6. Drizzle fresh lime juice over assembled bowls for brightness and let guests customize with extra toppings.
