Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 Tablespoon olive oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts ((about 1.5 pounds), cooked and shredded (or sliced))
1 teaspoon cumin
1½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons olive oil
16 ounces frozen corn (1 bag)
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise ((I used light))
4 ounces crumbled Cotija cheese ((could also use Feta cheese))
2 Tablespoons lime juice ((fresh is best))
1 Tablespoon jalapeno pepper (finely chopped)
⅓ cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
2 Tablespoons red onion (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
½ teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste
6 corn or flour tortillas
2 avocados (sliced)
Cotija Cheese (optional topping)
fresh cilantro (optional topping)

Steps:

  • In a skillet pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add cooked and shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until completely heated through and all the chicken is coated in seasonings. Remove from heat, cover with aluminum foil to keep warm, and set aside while you prepare the corn.
  • In another skillet (or you can use the same skillet you heated the chicken in), heat oil over medium heat.
  • Add frozen corn and let cook until corn starts to char, stirring occasionally (it took about 7-8 minutes before my corn was lightly charred).
  • While the corn is cooking, mix together mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.
  • Lay tortilla out on a plate. Top with 1/2 cup chicken, some Mexican street corn, sliced avocados, cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro.
