Ingredients

For Corn

  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp Tajín plus more for topping
  • 1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbsp leftover taco seasoning for charring corn

For chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp Siete mild taco seasoning
  • Salt to taste

For sweet potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp adobo seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and adobo. Spread evenly on a sheet pan and roast for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender with crispy edges.
  • While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the diced chicken, season with Siete mild taco seasoning and salt, and sear until cooked through and slightly blackened on the edges, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In the same or a separate pan, add the frozen corn and sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through, golden, and slightly charred.
  • Transfer the corn to a bowl and mix with cottage cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, Tajín, cotija cheese, and cilantro until creamy and well combined.
  • To assemble, add a base of roasted sweet potatoes to your bowl, top with the seasoned chicken, then spoon over a generous portion of the street corn. Finish with an extra sprinkle of Tajín to taste and serve immediately.
