Description
A vibrant and flavorful bowl inspired by the rich culture of Mexico, featuring grilled chicken, grilled corn, and a zesty dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (grilled and sliced)
- 2 ears corn (grilled and kernels removed)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (for dressing)
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cilantro (chopped)
- 1 cup black beans (cooked)
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 cup red onion (diced)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by grilling until golden brown and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes per side. Allow to rest before slicing for optimal juiciness.
- Grill the corn while the chicken is cooking, rotating occasionally until charred. Once cooled, cut the kernels off the cob carefully.
- Assemble the bowl with a base of cooked rice, topped with sliced chicken, grilled corn, black beans, avocado, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and a drizzle of the creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili powder.
Notes
Customize the ingredients as desired; great for vegan adaptations or varying spice levels. For best flavor, rest cooked chicken before slicing.
