2 tbsp sour cream

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

1. Cook the rice and set aside.

2. Season chicken with chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook in a skillet until golden and fully cooked.

Char your corn in a skillet for extra smoky flavor.

Store leftovers in separate containers for best texture.
