Instructions
  1. In a bowl, mix lime juice, avocado oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly in this marinade, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add avocado oil, and sear the marinated chicken thighs for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sweet corn, diced red onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, and a splash of lime juice. Stir until well-blended and creamy.
  4. Cook rice according to package instructions, then fluff with a fork. Mix in fresh chopped cilantro.
  5. To assemble, layer the fluffy rice at the bottom, add sliced chicken, and spoon the creamy corn mixture on top.
  6. Garnish with extra Cotija cheese and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
