Instructions
- Combine the corn kernels, finely chopped red onion, drained and rinsed black beans, freshly chopped cilantro, and 2 teaspoons of lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt to taste and mix well. Set aside.
- Whisk together the sour cream, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, chili powder, and honey until smooth in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Mix chili powder, ground cumin, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the taco spice blend.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Once shimmering, add the ground chicken and cook until just cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle the prepared taco seasoning evenly over the chicken and stir until no dry seasoning spots remain, cooking for about 1 minute.
- Pour the water and salsa over the seasoned chicken. Stir to combine, cover, and cook covered for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until excess liquid evaporates and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Layer cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl, top with the cooked taco chicken, and add the corn and black bean salsa.
- Finish with avocado slices, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.
- Serve immediately while warm.
