Instructions
- Cut the corn off the cob. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn. Cook the corn, stirring occasionally, until the kernels become slightly charred, ~10 minutes. Let the corn cool for a few minutes.
- Then, add the corn and remaining ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Chill.
- Toss the cooked chicken with the seasonings.
- Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Divide the cooked wild rice into four bowls. Top each bowl with the chicken, the Mexican street corn mixture, your choice of toppings (cilantro, cotija, lime), and drizzle the creamy sauce over the top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Properly stored in an airtight container, it will last 3-5 days.
- Wild rice typically takes ~45 minutes to cook on the stovetop. Cook according to package directions.
