Instructions

Prepare the rice and any desired toppings.

MAKE THE STREET CORN SALSA:

In a 10-inch skillet, add sweet corn kernels (thawed if frozen) and heat over medium-high heat. Stirring occasionally, cooking until the corn gets deeply golden in spots. Remove and let cool.

In a medium mixing bowl, measure and add yogurt, mayonnaise, cotija, lime juice, TJ's Everything But The Elote Seasoning and honey. Stir well to combine. Next, add in the charred corn and cilantro. Mix again and then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

GRILL THE CHICKEN:

Preheat your grill to 500°F (or 260°C).In a large mixing bowl, measure and add oil, lime juice, street taco seasoning and cilantro. Mix to combine and then add in the chicken and toss well to coat. Once the grill has preheated, grill the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes a side or until fully cooked and no longer pink.Remove off of the grill, and allow to rest for 5 minutes or so before slicing.

BUILD THE RICE BOWLS:

Divide rice (1/2 cup per bowl) among bowls, top with chicken, street corn salsa, avocados and any additional toppings you desire.
