Instructions

Make corn and black bean salsa: Combine corn, red onion, black beans, chopped cilantro, and 2 teaspoons lime juice. Add some salt. Set aside.
Make chili lime crema: Whisk together sour cream, 1 Tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and honey. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Make taco seasoning: Combine 2 teaspoons chili powder, ground cumin, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Make taco meat: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add cooking oil. When it begins to shimmer, add chicken and cook, breaking it apart, until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle taco seasoning over chicken and stir until no dry spots remain, about 1 minute.
Simmer meat: Pour water and salsa over chicken and stir well. Cover with a lid. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove lid and continue cooking until any extra liquid has cooked off.
Assemble bowls: Assemble bowls with a layer of cooked rice topped with chicken and corn-black bean salsa. Finish with any toppings you’d like and drizzle with crema. Enjoy!

Notes

Corn Kernels: If using frozen corn, defrost in the microwave. If using fresh corn, microwave for 1 minute until tender. Chili Powder: Use a blend of spices, not cayenne. Cooking Oil: Use any high-heat cooking oil with a neutral flavor, such as avocado, grapeseed, or vegetable oil.
