Instructions

How to Make It Happen

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Mix the cooked chicken with all those yummy seasonings.
  4. Mix up all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and get them dancing together!
  5. 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!
