Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

Notes
Char the Corn: Grilling or charring the corn adds a smoky flavor that elevates the dish. Reheat Rice: Add a splash of water to keep rice moist when reheating. Optional Toppings: Customize with avocado, black beans, pico de gallo, or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
