- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups cooked corn, drained
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 Tablespoons cotija cheese
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise
- Juice + zest of 1 lime
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced, optional
- 2–3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup long-grain white rice

- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 avocado, cubed
- Pickled red onions or fresh red onions, chopped

Instructions
- Make the rice by boiling water in a medium saucepan before adding the rice and salt. Cover, lower heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes until tender. Toss cooked rice with cilantro, lime juice, and zest.
- Prepare the corn salad by mixing corn, Greek yogurt, cotija cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, zest, jalapeño (if desired), chopped cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Stir until well combined and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Cook the chicken by tossing the chunks in a bowl with the combined spices.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Assemble the bowls by placing warm cilantro lime rice evenly in 4 bowls, providing room for toppings.
- Top each bowl with chicken chunks and a generous scoop of the corn salad. Add avocado, red onions, cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice as desired.
- Optionally, sprinkle Tajin on top of the corn salad.
