Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 pound grilled or roasted chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 2 cups corn kernels (grilled or roasted)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 lime (zested and juiced)
  • Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
  • Optional: diced avocado, jalapeños, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook 1 cup of rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. Grill or roast 2 cups of corn kernels until slightly charred.
  3. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, garlic powder, and lime zest and juice to make the sauce.
  4. Toss the grilled corn with half of the creamy sauce.
  5. Assemble the bowl: layer rice, shredded chicken, and sauced corn.
  6. Top with crumbled cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  7. Optional: garnish with diced avocado, jalapeños, or hot sauce.

Notes

To make this dish dairy-free, substitute mayonnaise, sour cream, and cheese with plant-based alternatives. For extra flavor, blend a portion of the roasted corn into the sauce. Chill rice and chicken before assembling for a refreshing cold version. Serve immediately to preserve texture and creaminess.
