Cooking steps

-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Drain corn; pat dry with paper towels.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add corn; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If corn begins to pop, cover pan with lid. Add more oil if corn is sticking.
-
Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe out pan.

-
While corn cooks, trim and thinly slice scallions. Quarter lime. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion.

-
To bowl with charred corn, add scallions, mayonnaise, red pepper crema, garlic powder, and juice from half the lime. Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.
-
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

-
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for corn over medium-high heat. Add onion, chicken, and Mexican Spice Blend; cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Add ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings); cook, stirring, until onion is softened and water has mostly evaporated, 2-4 minutes more.

-
Meanwhile, massage rice in package to break up grains. Pour rice into a second medium microwave-safe bowl. Add 3 TBSP water (6 TBSP for 4 servings), then place a damp paper towel over bowl; microwave until warmed through, 1½-2 minutes.
-
Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted; season with salt and pepper.

-
Divide rice between bowls. Top with chicken and street corn in separate sections. Crumble cotija on top of corn and serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
