3
  • Drain corn, then pat very dry with paper towels.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. (TIP: If using a nonstick pan, heat without oil.) Add corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If corn begins to pop, cover pan.

  • Turn off heat. Transfer corn to bowl with chipotle mayo; stir to combine. Cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.

  • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until saucy, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat.

  • Divide rice between bowls and top with chicken, corn esquites, and remaining Monterey Jack. Dollop with sour cream and drizzle with hot sauce to taste. Pick cilantro leaves from stems; tear leaves into pieces and sprinkle over dish. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
