Marinating and Cooking
- In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sear for 8-10 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
Preparing the Topping and Rice
- In a mixing bowl, combine sweet corn, sliced onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, additional chili powder, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and stir until well mixed.
- Cook your choice of rice according to package instructions, ensuring it is fluffy and tender, about 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork once cooked.
Assembling and Serving
- To assemble, start with a layer of prepared rice, top with sliced chicken, and a scoop of the street corn topping. Garnish with cotija cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve warm.
