Instructions
How to Make It Happen
- Slice the corn right off the cob. Warm up some olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Once it’s nice and hot, toss in the corn. Let it cook, giving it a stir now and then, until those kernels get a lovely little char in about 10 minutes. Let the corn cool down for a few minutes before diving in.
- Next, throw the corn and all those yummy ingredients into a big bowl and give it a good toss to mix everything up. Take a taste and tweak seasonings if you like. Then, pop it in the fridge to chill.
- Mix the cooked chicken with all those yummy seasonings.
- Mix up all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and get them dancing together!
- Scoop the wild rice into four cozy bowls. Pile on the juicy chicken and tasty Mexican street corn mixture. Add your favorite toppings—like fresh cilantro, crumbly cotija, and a squeeze of lime. Finish it off with a generous drizzle of creamy sauce on top. Dig in and enjoy!
