Method
Preparation
- Cook the rice according to package directions and keep it warm. Fluff with a fork just before assembling.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (about 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on thickness). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
- While the chicken rests, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are lightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper over the corn. Toss and cook another 30 seconds so the spices bloom.
- Make the lime crema by whisking the sour cream or Greek yogurt with lime juice, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. If the crema is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
Assembly
- Assemble bowls: divide the rice between bowls, top with sliced chicken, charred corn, black beans, tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled cotija.
- Drizzle lime crema over each bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes
Use Greek yogurt for a tangier, lower-fat crema. For a vegetarian bowl, swap the chicken for grilled tofu or extra seasoned black beans.
