INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARE THE RICE:

COOK THE RICE ACCORDING TO PACKAGE INSTRUCTIONS. DRAIN WHEN COOKED AND ADD LIME JUICE, CILANTRO, AND A PINCH OF SALT TO RICE. LET STEAM FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN FLUFF WITH A FORK. SET ASIDE.

PREPARE THE CORN STRIPS:

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 375 DEGREES F. SLICE CORN TORTILLAS INTO THIN STRIPS AND SPREAD OUT ON A BAKING SHEET. TOSS WITH OLIVE OIL AND SPICES. BAKE FOR 10 TO 12 MINUTES UNTIL LIGHTLY BROWNED AND CRISPY. STIR ONCE HALFWAY THROUGH TO ENSURE EVEN COOKING.

PREPARE THE CHICKEN:

DRIZZLE WITH OLIVE OIL AND TOSS WITH SPICE MIX (SALT, PEPPER, CHILI POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, OREGANO). GRILL OVER MEDIUM-HIGH HEAT FOR ABOUT 8 MINUTES UNTIL COOKED THROUGH. I RECOMMEND GRILLING THE SWEET CORN AND JALAPE�OS AT THE SAME TIME!

ASSEMBLE THE BOWLS:

ADD RICE TO EACH BOWL. TOP WITH A FEW CHICKEN STRIPS, CRISPY CORN STRIPS, VEGGIES, AND A DRIZZLE OF SOUR CREAM. GARNISH WITH FRESH CILANTRO! SERVE IMMEDIATELY
