Preparation
1
Prep
• Wash and dry produce. • Drain corn, then pat dry with paper towels. Quarter lime. Halve, peel, and slice onion into ½-inch strips. Core and deseed bell pepper; slice into ½-inch strips. Roughly chop cilantro.
2
Make Corn Salad
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 3-5 minutes. (TIP: If corn begins to pop, cover pan.) Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe out pan. • To bowl with corn, add mayonnaise, ½ tsp chili powder (you’ll use the rest later), ¼ tsp sugar, and juice from one lime wedge (1 tsp chili powder, ½ tsp sugar, and juice from two lime wedges for 4 servings). Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more lime juice if desired. TIP: You can customize the corn salad by also adding as much cilantro and feta as you like; any remaining cilantro and feta will be served alongside the taco bar. • Refrigerate corn salad until ready to serve.
3
Cook Veggies
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for corn over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; season with remaining chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 3-5 minutes (lower heat if veggies begin to brown too quickly!). • Turn off heat; transfer to a serving bowl. Wipe out pan. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!)
4
Cook Chicken
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add chicken, Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked though, 4-6 minutes.
5
Warm Tortillas & Mix Crema
• Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.
6
Serve
• Serve tortillas, chicken, veggies, corn salad, cilantro, feta, lime crema, and any remaining lime wedges family style so everyone can build their own plate. (Don’t forget to serve with any extra items you may have ordered to build out your meal!) ***Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
