Equipment

Ingredients

Cilantro-lime rice

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp lime juice preferably from a lime
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro

Smoky chicken

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken breasts sliced into cutlets
  • 2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Mexican street corn

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cups corn I use frozen but you could use canned or fresh corn on the cob
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese or feta, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice preferably from a lime
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Optional toppings

  • Pickled red onion
  • Sliced avocado
  • Sliced jalapenos

Instructions

  • Add rice, water, olive oil and salt to a rice cooker or pot on the stove and cook until all liquid is absorbed. When done cooking, let cool for 10 minutes then stir in cilantro and lime juice and set aside.
  • While rice is cooking, season chicken cutlets with cajun seasoning and salt & pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet, then add chicken, cooking for 5 minutes per side until cooked through. Let cool at least 5 minutes then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • While chicken is cooking, make the street corn. Add olive oil to a medium-sized skillet over high heat then add corn, sauteeing for 5 minutes until charred. Add to a large bowl, mixing with sour cream, cotija cheese, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, chili powder and salt.
  • Divide rice, chicken and street corn among 4 bowls. Top with pickled red onions, avocado, jalapenos and extra cheese and cilantro if desired. Serve and enjoy!
