🕰️ A Little History of Street Corn Bowls
Street corn, also known as Elote, originates from Mexican street food culture, where corn on the cob is grilled, coated with mayonnaise, cheese, and spices. Over time, this flavor profile inspired rice bowls, which combine the bold, tangy, and creamy flavors of elote with proteins like chicken for a wholesome, modern twist.
🛒 Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Cotija cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder or smoked paprika
