**Step 4 — Char the corn** *(~4 min)*
In a dry skillet over high heat, add the corn in a single layer. Don't stir for 2 minutes to let it char, then toss and cook another 1–2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.

Toss the cooked rice with half the cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Season with a pinch of salt.
**Step 5 — Prepare the rice**
Make the cilantro-lime rice: toss the cooked rice with half the cilantro and a squeeze of lime, then season with a pinch of salt. Or use Mexican red rice instead, or microwave a pouch of Costco 90-second cilantro lime rice.
**Step 6 — Warm the beans** *(~2 min)*
Microwave the black beans in a bowl covered with a damp paper towel for 1–2 minutes, stirring halfway. Add a splash of water if dry.
**Step 7 — Assemble the bowls**
Divide the cilantro-lime rice between bowls. Add a bed of shredded lettuce, then top with chicken, black beans, charred corn, and salsa. Add sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of shredded Chihuahua cheese. Garnish with remaining cilantro and a final squeeze of lime.

## Notes
- **Rice options:** cilantro-lime rice (below), [Mexican red rice](Mexican%20red%20rice.md), or Costco 90-second cilantro lime rice (microwave pouch)
- **Nice-to-haves:** pickled jalapeños
- Always keep chicken in a single layer when searing — crowding the pan causes steaming instead of browning
- Cubed chicken cooks fast; don't walk away!
